Rochdale Town Hall, Manchester
We were contracted to work on Rochdale Town Hall as part of the restoration project funded by Rochdale Borough Council. The Grade-I listed building is one of the UK’s finest examples of Victorian Gothic architecture. It was designed by William Crossland and opened in 1871. Over time Rochdale Town Hall fell into a poor state of repair, and we were proud to play our part in restoring the building to its former glory.
The brief
As part of the £20m restoration project, Rochdale Town Hall needed a full kitchen ventilation system designed and fitted to rigid specifications. As a Grade 1 listed and protected World Heritage site, all works had to be designed with minimal impact on the building.
They also needed an energy-based ventilation system that was as efficient as possible, saving energy and money.
The project
After extensive consultation with the client, including a full on-site survey, our engineers designed CAD and fabrication drawings to the site specifications. Once signed off, the designs were sent for manufacturing. Our team installed full ventilation and stainless steel fabrications on a tight schedule.
The historical nature of the site meant we had to paint the external duct and plant work to match the building. We examined the heights and angles from the car park to ensure the ductwork and fans were not visible outside.
“We were proud to work alongside a great design team on this historic building. As the building is Grade 1 listed, we had to work around existing architecture and leave as little impact as possible. We enjoyed working on this project and the client was pleased with the high standard of our work.”
