Morgan Sindall<\/a> has started construction on the major National Lottery Heritage Fund<\/a> supported project to transform Norwich Castle Keep back to its origins as a Norman royal palace<\/h2>\n

Morgan Sindall will be delivering the Norwich Castle Keep project from its office in Norwich, allowing them to deliver a local impact beyond the build.<\/p>\n

The contractor has developed a tailored social value<\/a> charter for the scheme, dedicated to local investment.<\/p>\n

The project team will aim to host over 100 apprentice weeks, five work experience placements, two workless job starts, two NVQ starts<\/a>, and five STEM and school engagement sessions.<\/p>\n

Covid-19 safety protocols<\/h3>\n

Working conditions during the construction phase will adhere strictly to the government\u2019s Covid-19 safety protocols relating to construction sites, with extensive measures in place to ensure the safety of construction staff, museum staff and visitors.<\/p>\n

The rest of the Norwich Castle site, including the museum and galleries, is due to reopen to the public in September with a new temporary entrance and safety measures<\/a> including one-way systems through the galleries, hand sanitizer stations and social distancing guidelines<\/a> in place.<\/p>\n

The start of a new era<\/h3>\n

Councillor Margaret Dewsbury, cabinet member for communities and partnerships at Norfolk County Council, said: \u201cAfter such a testing time nationally and locally over the past few months, the Norwich Castle: Royal Palace Reborn project is a cause for optimism and is a major investment in the future of the city and the county.<\/p>\n

“We look forward to seeing the results of this fantastic project which will secure Norwich Castle\u2019s future as a jewel in Norfolk\u2019s and the UK\u2019s heritage crown.\u201d<\/p>\n

Area director for Morgan Sindall Construction, Alister Broadberry, commented: \u201cWe are extremely proud to have secured the Norwich Castle project.<\/p>\n

“It is one of the most prestigious buildings in the East of England and our team is excited to create an environment that will inspire<\/a> each and every museum visitor.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur purpose is about enriching lives and communities, so the commitments we have made on this project around social value investment are just as important as the project itself.<\/p>\n

“Together with the customer team, we are determined to leave a positive legacy here both in the museum and the community around us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leader of Norwich City Council, Alan Waters, added: \u201cThis marks a new phase in the long, rich and eventful history of our castle, and it\u2019s a great opportunity to celebrate the start of a new era.<\/p>\n

“Norwich Castle is unique in that it houses a museum and art gallery with a wealth of important collections.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe planned changes to the Keep will provide a completely new way for people to explore its history as a castle and still enjoy the collections we\u2019ve come to know and love.<\/p>\n

“This project will also make Norwich Castle more accessible and inclusive to local communities as well as attracting new visitors to the city.\u201d<\/p>\n
