Bridgegate House refurbishment moves on site
September 12 2012
Designed by Ian Springford Architects the £3.3m scheme is being driven by North Ayrshire Council and Irvine Bay Regeneration Company and will entail application of a new glazed cladding system to the frame of the existing structure.
Internal spaces will also be remodeled and upgraded to provide open plan spaces to suit tenant demand, including a customer service centre for the council.
A colonnaded shopping arcade will be created at street level to boost pedestrian footfall around the Bridgegate area.
Bridgegate House complements development of a new sport and leisure centre, Bridgegate public realm works and refurbishment of Irvine Church.
Graham Construction are now on site whilst land Engineering works conduct parallel public realm works
Interior spaces will be decluttered to provide more attractive lettable floor space
The existing structure was described as 'Grossly out of scale, ugly and badly maintained' by the GSA's head of urbanism
