The restoration and renewal programme has awarded the university £75,000 of funding to develop methods to safeguard those working on the project as well as the building itself. Dozens of surveys will be needed to map out what work at the building needs to be carried out Its work will include looking at the project from the design stage, through to construction and future operation and will use technology to rehearse difficult construction challenges to make sure they are not dangerous for workers or damaging to the building.
