Architect - The Archway Centre: Roman Baths Learning Centre & World Heritage Interpretation

A recent Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) Round 1 grant will enable the Councils Heritage Services to develop exciting plans for a major heritage project to convert buildings in York Street and Swallow Street into a Roman Baths Learning Centre and World Heritage Interpretation Centre, transforming the visitor experience at the Baths and dramatically improving the sites learning offer. An existing tunnel under York Street will give school groups direct access into the heart of the Baths.

If successful in obtaining further HLF and other funding, the project will also interpret and breathe new life into Victorian spa buildings close to the Roman Baths, open up more in-situ Roman remains for visitors to see and create an underground Investigation Zone for learning groups of all ages. These improvements will allow local people and the many thousands of tourists that visit every year to rediscover the Roman, Georgian and Victorian heritage of Bath. Proposals also include innovative plans to use energy recovered from waste water in the Roman Drain to heat the Centre. Bath & North East Somerset Council are seeking Architectural Design Services.
