ISG TOTTY - MAKES HISTORY WITH £7 MILLION HULL ARCHIVE
STORAGE CENTRE
 ISG
has been awarded a £7 million project by Hull City Council to build
a landmark archives and local studies centre within the city. A
joint venture between the Council and the University of Hull, and
with a major grant secured from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), the
Hull History Centre, designed by Pringle Richards Sharratt
architects, will bring together a range of historical resources from
across the city into one purpose built facility.
Flood protection for the irreplaceable 700 year old archive is a key
design consideration and the two-storey concrete frame structure
houses this important material on the first floor, within 11 self
contained archive stores. This storage area contains floor to
ceiling moveable racking systems for the 110,000 published items,
including letters from William Wilberforce and papers from Philip
Larkin, with the environment precisely controlled to ensure optimum
temperature and relative humidity levels.
Public areas of the Hull History Centre are located to the ground
floor, with ISG creating a flexible lecture theatre, library,
reading rooms and IT and microform room. A conservation studio will
enable on site preservation work to be carried out, alongside a new
home for the centre’s bindery service.
The most striking element of the building is the arcade, a full
height covered walkway constructed with structural timber beams and
a polymer roof (as used in the landmark Eden Project building in
Cornwall). The arcade provides an open public space with a café and
is able to house small exhibitions. The project is due to commence
early in the New Year, with completion scheduled for summer 2009.
John Gittins, regional managing director of ISG Totty, commented:
"The Hull History Centre has been designed specifically to safeguard
the archival treasures that are currently dispersed across the city.
The main storage area is located to the first floor of the building
in a highly controlled environment, which ensures that any future
flooding episodes within Hull have no impact on the irreplaceable
written, audio and visual resources.
“The Centre is an excellent example of collaborative working between
a host of key stakeholders and ISG is delighted to be playing such
an integral role in the creation of this highly anticipated
facility.”
