The brief

The Paper Conservation building is a two storey facility housing the BFI’s culturally significant poster and paper collection which is located within the BFI National Archive in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire.

The building was an extension to the existing BFI National Archive site and constructed in 1991, the existing structure and plant supplying the environmental conditions dates from this time although various upgrades have happened during this time.

The BFI is seeking a supplier to provide full construction services for a refurbishment project within the Paper Conservation building at the BFI National Archive site in Berkhamsted.

These will include building works, mechanical and electrical plant replacement and design coordination and for the avoidance of doubt the appointed Contractor must have the capability to provide the full services.

The main aspects of the project are; • Replacement of the existing HVAC systems serving the area to ground level and removal of all redundant HVAC services on the roof of the building. • Removal of existing plant enclosure on roof, stripping off existing waterproofing and replacing with new including insulation to ensure historical water ingress issues are resolved. • Removal of windows/louvres and blocking up openings, removal and replacement of stair core and main internal doors. • Reconfiguration of existing ground floor reception area to create a new paper storage area and layout room including alterations/adaptations to existing services installations. • Improvements to airflow and air tightness within both storage areas. • Replacement of lighting, fire detection and electrical systems.
