Collinson PLC have been awarded the contract to build the new home for the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff. The building itself will contain the main exhibition hall, a first floor mezzanine. Additional two storey section will contain a reception, cafe, classrooms and offices.
Company Director Daniel Collinson said:
We are thrilled to be working with Cardiff City Council and the BBC on the Dr Who project. To be part of creating something imaginitive and extraordinary is always exciting for us. We’re confident the finished result will not only impress visitors to the exhibition, but we hope it will inspire people think creatively when it comes to the materials and design that can be utilised in constructing public buildings.
The construction is a joint project between the BBC and Cardiff city council, a spokesperson said:
This attraction is set to bring millions of pounds into the city’s economy, and the benefits to Cardiff will be immense in terms of tourism.
