The extension includes approximately 100m2 of additional internal space plus an external decking / seating area\. The successful contractor will be responsible for developing, building and seamlessly integrating an interpretive master plan within the build using a variety of inspiring and interactive media, the content of which is to be developed in cooperation with relevant stakeholders\.
