Description

National Museums Liverpool (NML) is seeking to appoint an Architectural Design team & Principal Designer to deliver a programme of works through RIBA stage 3-7 for four of our historic dockside buildings such that they can be let to commercial tenants. The requirement is for the Lead Consultant and Principal Designer (the Architect) and sub-consultant team to work with National Museum Liverpool (NML) and our partners, in developing the refurbishment project for the Historic Dockside buildings. This would entail the refurbishment of the Cooperage (Grade II listed), Piermaster's Office (Grade II listed), Mermaid House and Great Western Railway building end pavilion (Grade II listed). Our ambition is to create new venues on the historic waterfront which can be commercially let as food and beverage offers. This transformation will be led by our internal Major Projects team and accompanying stakeholders in an approach that will enhance the current offer to visitors to the Liverpool Waterfront. This is to be achieved through refurbishing and developing the buildings as dedicated spaces for food and beverage offers to be operated by commercial partners. The buildings and offer must complement the historic environment on the waterfront as part of NMLs overall vision. NML is looking for a team that is creative, innovative, diverse, highly skilled, and experienced, and able to deliver the project in line with the programme timescales. The team will need to demonstrate experience and an understanding of developing a project within listed buildings for commercial purposes. Accordingly, the multi-disciplinary team must be able to demonstrate experience of working with Grade II or above listed buildings such as ours and the ability to create a design solution that will provide a realistic and future-proofed solution in the face of climate and biodiversity crises, including effective adaptation and mitigation. The team must have experience of delivering sustainable buildings and/or refurbishment projects to the highest standard and the ability to deliver a building sustainability plan which includes the integration of both climate change mitigation, adaptation measures and minimisation of operational cost.
