ESBC Library
Refurbishment of an existing retail unit, with the space reconfigured to accommodate both a new public library and a Decathlon retail unit
Client: Ealing Central Library
Project Details:
This project involved the complete strip out and refurbishment of an existing retail unit, with the space reconfigured to accommodate both a new public library and a reduced-size Decathlon retail unit.
The existing unit was fully stripped back before being subdivided to create two separate occupancies. Works included the formation of a new customer entrance, allowing independent access to the new library facility while maintaining access to the retail unit.
The refurbishment incorporated the installation of new flooring and energy-efficient lighting throughout the development, together with the creation of dedicated archive rooms to support the operational requirements of the library.
The completed project successfully transformed the existing retail space into a modern mixed-use facility, providing a new public library alongside a refurbished retail unit within the existing building footprint.
