The project involved the sensitive restoration and refurbishment of existing buildings to create state-of-the-art office space, storage for library stock, a canteen and associated parking and landscaping. The building provides a total office space capacity for 500 staff. The former paper mill has been transformed into a modern working environment for key professional staff. The Campus has been created to reconnect the community of Guardbridge to the building and make it accessible to the public for the first time in over 150 years.
