Fashion Museum Renovation - Funding for Design Costs

The Old Post Office building needs to be redesigned as a new museum with planning and listed building consent required prior to implementation of the building renovation. Additional grant funding was awarded by WECA on 26th July 2024 to supplements the existing Milsom Quarter Delivery WECA grant funding and supports the appointment of a design team (architectural and exhibition design), alongside specialist technical input and surveys. This will enable the detailed design of the Fashion Museum for fit out to include exhibitions, a retail space and cafe, wayfinding, signage and access. It will create an efficient layout for safe and optimal use of space.
