A large 15 m cantilever of the entrances is generated by hanging walls tying back to the reinforced concrete core and stair walls.

The structural design is responsive to the site and heritage building constraints as the new building stands 3.0m off the existing museum and provides only a discreet new link way into the existing building thereby minimising risk and disturbance to the museum operations and curatorial assets, providing a new energy efficient world class entry and circulation area while adding the first new exhibition space to the Museum in 50 years.

The project is a huge success for the community and the new gateway concept acts as a gathering space, with opportunities for performances and commercial operations but also as an accessway to link to the river and grasslands previously hidden from the high street.

Due to the proximity to the existing railway tracks, the main auditorium was designed as an acoustically isolated box and was cut into the existing structure without touching it. The box was isolated form the ground by the use of acoustic bearing pads beneath a precast base to the new structure.
The trusses removed from the existing roof were re-used in the “dancing” structure that provided the signage at the front of the building.

Reinforced concrete suspended floor structures were designed to span up to 10 metres and cantilever up to 5 metres, with concealed upstand beams. An award winning feature of the building is the glazed brickwork which was highly engineered to endure the salt laden air and high winds with the same coloured glazed pattern extended as a wrap around onto the unique roof tiled finish.

The structural design of the timber roof trusses is a solution that accommodated a traditional roof truss form but with a significant change in the falls and geometry of the roof surfaces and the feature timber clad ceiling on the project reflect this fundamental change to what would otherwise have been a conventional structure. The central stairs of the gathering space is a unique folded reinforced concrete sawtooth flight stairs of coloured concrete.

The structure is comprised of pre-cast concrete external walls supporting long span ILB type steel fabricated roof beams – a typical industrial-style building construction which was an economical way of creating the space that was then fitted out internally.

In-house testing of mesh prototypes was evolved and undertaken by MM Structural Engineering in order to finesse support details. Off form, rippled concrete amenities blocks include bespoke steel sliding doors and benches/furniture internally

MM Structural Engineering provided Structural and Civil engineering services for the project, and limited groundwork costs by utilizing the filled areas of the site to encapsulate the mildly contaminated excavated material.

The building structure comprised long-span steel trusses, post-tensioned and reinforced concrete floors and steel screw piled foundations.

Standing over 8m tall at one end, the main freestanding structural steel framework made use of steel bow-string trusses to ensure the glazing supports could be as small as possible to again minimize the visual impact of the structure.
