York Castle Museum – Kirkgate Alterations
This is our most recent project at the Castle Museum and was handed over just this month.
The project concerned refurbishment and alterations to the visitor toilet area, adjacent to the ground floor ‘Kirkgate’ display and comprised refurbishing existing male and female toilets and creating a new disabled toilet/baby changing room.
The thematic and stylistic requirements for the project were established with YMT as needing to avoid a pastiche of Victorian toilets and instead to incorporate ‘highlights’ relating to Victoriana and providing a link with the museum displays. The brief also required the toilets to possibly include a display wall and other elements providing a contemporary interpretation of Victorian life and times.
The Kirkgate toilets refurbishment will compliment the planned refitting of the new Count Down to Kirkgate gallery.
