Sweett Group, the global provider of professional services for the construction and management of building and infrastructure projects, is pleased to have been appointed as project manager for a two-storey extension to Lyme Regis Museum in Dorset.
Designed by George Vialls, the Lyme Regis Museum is a Grade II listed purpose-built museum dating from 1902 and is located behind modern, robust coastal defences on the seafront at the Dorset town of Lyme Regis.
David Tucker, the museum’s director said: “I’m very pleased to be working with Myles Clough and Cliff Barnes at Sweett Group.
“It’s very reassuring to have people joining the project who have such a thorough understanding of Build and Design matters.”
The extension, called the Mary Anning Wing, will be built in a contemporary style to include a multi-functional learning space, a refurbished palaeontology gallery, extended shop and ancillary facilities.
