ECO Architects Granby Row Greater Manchester M60 7LH Manchester Central Library Saint Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Square M2 5PD Greater Manchester 23/01/2014 Dear Mr Brooks, Please find attached the elemental cost analysis for the above project, calculated according to the BCIS (Building Cost Information Service) elemental cost schedule. Cost planning is an integral part of the overall design process, as the decisions made at this stage will have an impact on the resulting building. Our aim is to provide a high quality investment, which will be sustainable in terms of running, maintenance and replacement costs. A quantity surveyor contributes in the project management through detailed cost control, ensuring that the budget is not exceeded. If a larger portion of the initial budget is needed to be spent on some element, a quantity surveyor will propose the appropriate adjustments to make savings in other parts of the project. The market conditions, along with the choice of contractor and procurement route will shape the future costs of the project and the approach under which good value will be achieved. The JCT contract enables you, the client to request from the contractor to prepare competitive quotes from sub-contructors and material providers. This procedure might prove cost saving at first, but it could also lead to supplementary costs subsequently. Since the material quality is of utmost importance for a historic listed building such as the Central Library of Manchester, material budget is an important factor. Consequently, a considerable part of the budget is allocated to the provision of appropriate materials. Please do not hesitate to contact us for any queries that you may have. With Regards, on behalf of ECO Archietcts,

12 Design and Access Statement and PLanning Permission Application

MANCHESTER CENTRAL LIBRARY ST PETER SQUARE M2 5PD Jan14 (Issue 1) INTRODUCTION Manchester City Council is applying for planning permission for the erection of a glazed rectangular extension towards the southeastern entrance of the walkway between the Central Library and the Town Hall Extension. This Design and Access Statement has been prepared in accordance with the legal requirements to accompany the application. STATEMENT A. Background information and planning history A.1. Manchester Central Library was constructed between 1930-1934. It was listed as Grade II on 3rd October 1974 (list entry number No. 1270759). A.2. The building was constructed on a steel frame with reinforced concrete floors and is faced with Portland stone. The most prominent features are the main entrance with a big, two-storey portico with six columns, and the colonnade around the second and third floors. A.3. The surrounding area consists of a courtyard on the SE side and a walkway towards the North running between the Central Library and the Town Hall Extension. A.4. There are three relevant previous Planning Approvals for the property as detailed in the Listed Buildings Application form. 12 | Professional Studies Proposal

B. Design Considerations B.1. The design of the glazed rectangular extension takes into consideration the aesthetic attributes and historic values of both Central Library and City Hall Extension. B.2. The intention for the proposed structure is for a freestanding rectangular enclosed space that leaves the neighboring historic buildings intact. B.3. The height of the proposal will not exceed 6 m. B.4. Design and materiality will be in accordance to the current gateway extension. C. Use C.1. The vision is for a structure that will provide an enclosed exhibition space while providing sheltered spaces for protection from weather conditions. D. Layout, Scale & Appearance D.1. The glazed exhibition space will be approximately 25m long and 10m wide, following the curvilinear path as defined by the walkway. D.2. The height of the proposal will be considerate to the neighboring buildings and will not exceed 6 m. D.3. The appearance will be a contemporary transparent gesture respecting the historic context. D.4. Alterations to the landscaping will be kept to a minimum.

Eleni Economidou | 13

E. Materials E.1. The structural system will consist of a steel frame and glass curtain walls. F. Access Vehicular and transport links: F.1. The building is adjacent to the St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Square Metrolink Station and stands on an important street junction of Manchester City Centre. F.2. The neighboring Albert Square is daily served by a significant number of bus services. G. Impact Statement G.1. The proposed works to this property have been carefully considered to have a minimal impact on the existing buildings and their setting. G.2. The proposal will have minimal impact on neighboring properties. H. Justification Statement H.1. The proposed works will provide a major benefit to the long-term future of the walkway by providing shelter and re-energizing pedestrian flow in the area.

Manchester Central Library Saint Peter’s Square M2 5PD Greater Manchester 29/01/2014 Internal Use only: Project Manager Dear Mr Brooks, We are writing to you to inform you about the responsibilities of a project manager for the extension of the Central Library in Manchester. Under traditional forms of contract, the role of the project manager is undertaken by the architect, however we thought we should inform you of all options available. As defined by RIBA Practice Committee in 1995: “The project Manager is a construction professional who can be given executive authority and responsibility to assist the client to identify the project objectives and subsequently supply the technical expertise to assess, procure, monitor and control the external resources required to achieve those objectives, defined in terms of time, cost, quality and function.” There are two types of project managers; the one who acts as the client’s representative and has no powers under the building contract and the second who performs all the functions of a contract administrator in regard to the building contract and must be named as contract administrator in the contract. Whatever their role, project managers should have some required skills and knowledge on the below fields: 32 | Professional Studies Proposal

03/03/2014 Dear Mr Brooks, Internal Use only: Equality Act + Building Regulations

Dear Mr Brooks, The main objective of the 2010 Equality Act ensures anti-discrimination in accordance with the EU law. This consolidates and replaces the Sex Discrimination Act 1975, the Race Relations Act 1976 and most importantly the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. The main Actâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purpose is to protect disabled people from physical discrimination and their exclusion from environments due to access limitations as well as other characteristics such as age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation and pregnancy. Under certain circumstances, the appropriate adjustments have to be made to the physical features of the premises in order to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act 1995(DDA), to ensure that the maximum number of disabled users are catered. The Central Library is classified under recreation and has played a major role in the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cultural history and education of the community. Due to the Grade 2* listed building status of the existing building, care must also be taken into how these methods of access affect the existing building in the least possible manner. In order to devoid any physical features that could prevent a person ability of carrying day-to-day activities the design follows a more inclusive approach according to the Part M of the Building Regulations 2010.

Some of many key issues which the new extension needs to meet includes the following: - The proposed extension does not affect the current access layout . 44 | Professional Studies Proposal

- Glazing within the extension does not create distracting reflections. - Floor surface materials within the extension do not impede the movement of wheelchairs, e.g. not coir matting, and changes in floor materials do not create a potential trip hazard. - Floor surface helps to remove rainwater from shoes and wheelchairs. - Any columns, ducts and similar full height elements that project into the lobby more than 100mm are protected by a visually contrasting guard rail. - Passing places should be at least 1800mm wide and at least 2000mm long within sight of each other but in any case spaced at a distance no greater than 50m. -The gradient along its length should not be steeper than 1:60 along its whole length or less steep than 1:20 with level landings introduced for each 5000mm rise of the access(where necessary between landings), in all cases with a cross-fall gradient no steeper than 1:40.

Dear Mr Brooks, Building Regulations Approval is required for new builds and alterations to existing buildings. It is an offence to start building operations with submitting full plans or a building notice without at least two days notice. It is not, however, necessary to hold work before receiving an approval. The various methods to achieve this approval are outlined below. Although the decision is yours, we would recommend the first option with the deposit of full plans to Manchester City Council. Please find attached the completed Building Regulation consent form. The three options for obtaining Building Regulation approval are as follows: 1. Local Authority Approval (Manchester City Council) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Full Plans [recommended] A full set of plans and completed form from Manchester City Council Building Control must be submitted. These are checked for their compliance with the Building Regulations, which are set out in the Approved Documents. The application must include: -Detailed plans, sections and elevations with technical note and specifications -1:1250 plan indicating the size, location and relationships of the building -Full plans application form -Building Control charge (standard or individually determined) The process takes an average of five weeks from submission to approval and should the scheme be denied for any particular reason, adequate feedback from the authority would enable us to make the necessary changes before we would need to re-submit the application. Once certified, the certificate is valid for 3 years as long as the 46 | Professional Studies Proposal

construction as been carried out according to the certified plans.   The benefit of a full application is that it provides greater protection; the formal decision confirms the project’s full compliance with Building Regulations. The Approval Notice can be used as a reference for financial institutions, surveyors or solicitors. 2. Local Authority Approval (Manchester City Council) – Building Notice   This procedure is used for domestic projects, and is not valid for any buildings subject to the Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations 1997. Unlike the full plans form of building control approval, the building notice method approval does not require the submission of any plans or technical information to the local authority, saving time and money. It is still necessary for work to comply with Building Regulations and the project will be inspected by a Building Control officer. With this method, the build programme may be shortened as approval is not needed before work starts. However, should there be any issues in relation to the building regulations, the errors would need to be rectified should it be deemed unsatisfactory by the council inspector, something that could ultimately be costly. 3. Appointment of an Approved Inspector Unlike the previous two options, which deal directly with the local authority, the third one employs an Approved Inspector from a private firm, to undertake the original duties of the Local Authority. They are to check that the plans conform to the regulations set out by the authority, and then required to submit an initial notice to the local authority outlining the details of the project. The approval date is around 5 working days. Should there be any discrepancies, the approved inspector is permitted to issue a notice for the rectification of work within 3 months. Should this not be taken into account, Manchester City Council will be forced to take further action. Once the project is complete, the inspector will issue a completion certificate to the authority outlining that the building regulations have been met. Recommendations: Due to the nature of this project, involving a Grade II* listed building, we recommend the first option (Local Authority Approval - Full Plans) of obtaining building regulations approval. The commencement of work without approval is not recommended as it may have to be altered at a later stage, potentially causing more damage to the building’s fabric. This option provides greater protection for the client and is the most comprehensive. It also covers Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety Order 2005). As the plans are reviewed before construction, it is ensured that any issues are resolved before works start on site. Furthermore, the Local Authority Building Control inspector comes at a lesser cost than an approved inspector. Eleni Economidou | 47
