18739 Macduff Aquarium Extension and Upgrade

Description

The Works include the construction of one single storey and one two storey extension to the existing Macduff Marine Aquarium to provide an additional café, improved reception, shop, staff, plant and workshop areas and larger display areas. Works in the existing marine life display areas are largely restricted to decoration and heating upgrades. Alterations to the marine life support systems are minimal. A new ventilation layout is proposed with two external plant installations. Much of the front façade is to be removed and replaced to allow a larger building footprint. This also requires roof extensions and steel frame supports. The first floor café features large glazing panels. PV panels are to be installed on two roof areas. Parking alterations and landscaping improvements are included.
