CLIENT BRIEF. Specific requirements:

Project Information: Location: Filter House, Sandford Mill, Sandford Mill Lane, Chelmsford, Essex, CM2 6NY

Exhibition space(s)- It is important that visitors leave with knowledge that is memorable and enjoyable. Spaces should accommodate: -Industry Display: Space should be provided for industry partners to display -Interactive Exhibition: A flexible space that engages visitors in the everyday application of Chemistry and careers through interactive displays. -Green Zone: Space should provide information and encourage discussion about Green Chemistry. -Observation Platform: To provide a space to view the beautiful surroundings and learn about the science of it. -Careers Zone: To provide a space where the careers in Chemistry can be encouraged. Filter House Partnership

Learning Spaces: not-for-profit and local businesses, creates a - Lecture/ Talk Space: immersive environmentcould where debates and talks can take work well together. place - Learning Lab: A working Lab where youth groups can practice chemistry

Client(s): Partnership consisting of Chelmsford Museum, Essex County Council, Royal Society of Chemistry and Anglian Water. Function: Primarily Filter house should function as a chemistry centre and museum, comprising of exhibition spaces, interactive displays, and an educational hub. Target Market: Families, school groups, youth groups (guides/ scouts). Aims of the project:

The proposed clients for Filter house will be a

• Inform: To increase awareness of the public to the importance of chemistry and its everyday applications.

Entrance: it is important that the centre have a prominent and visible entrance.

• Engage: To enrich science education in the East of England.
