The contractor for Project Pegasus, Sir Robert McAlpine Special Projects, held a “drop-in” presentation for all interested stakeholders in the Buttery Rooms on 13 May.
Queen Anne’s portrait was finally prised off the wall of Hall in the week beginning 21 May – this was the last item to be removed from the Treasury Building and the contractor is now in full control of the site. At the time of writing agreement from the City to the plans for the discharge of conditions relating to the planning permission is still awaited, but this does not prevent certain tasks such as erection of scaffolding and hoarding from going ahead and they are now in hand.
A meeting of the Project Pegasus Interior Design Sub-Group, including Hugh Broughton Architects, took place on 22 May to discuss which outstanding aspects of interior design require the group’s attention; potential themes and ideas to incorporate into decoration of the 4th floor training rooms; and to conduct a competition to create a bespoke artwork for the 3rd floor breakout space.
