Maidstone Museum's East Wing development

Maidstone Museum’s East Wing development was officially underway in March when the contract was signed for the work to be started.

Ashford-based construction company, Morgan Ashurst plc, were awarded the contract and will be carrying out the work to extend Maidstone Museum’s East Wing.

This is the first stage in the East Wing development and it’s a very exciting time for the Museum, our Tourist Information Service and the borough council. The council received a very competitive tender for this work and Morgan Ashurst gave us best value for money.

The East Wing project work will cost £3.7m to complete and has been made possible largely by a grant of £2m from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Construction work should be starting shortly after the signing of the contract. The whole project is expected to be completed by summer 2011.

Morgan Ashurst plc’s special works area director, Colin Shermer, said: “We’re thrilled to be part of this exciting project which is going to transform the look of the East Wing.  We are particularly looking forward to incorporating state-of-the-art modern and sustainable technologies into this historic building such as ground source heat pumps and photovoltaic panels which will create a truly up-to-date facility that local people will be proud of.”
