Contractor Secures Major Facade Package on New Huddersfield Museum

Specialist facade contractor, CCL Facades, has been appointed to deliver a package of works on phase two of Our Cultural Heart, Kirklees Council’s flagship development in Huddersfield.

The second phase of the regeneration scheme will see main contractor, BAM Construction, convert the former Grade II listed library on Princess Alexandra Walk into a new museum and art gallery.

Major Façade Package

Due to start in September 2027, CCL Facades’ work on the project will include the installation of a 1,400m² steel framing system, 300m² curtain walling, 700m² of anodised/PPC aluminium cladding and 900m² stone cladding, as well as 100m² of bespoke rooflights and AOVs.

The appointment follows the facade contractor’s completion of external work on phase one of Our Cultural Heart.

CCL Facades’ presence in the region also includes its delivery of the curtain walling facade at Luminate Education Group’s new Harrogate College campus, and the completion of the external envelope at Project Dahlia, a new commercial office development in Rotherham.

Paul Dodsworth, Group Managing Director at Caddick Construction Group, commented: “We are very grateful to BAM Construction for entrusting this project to CCL Facades and are proud to continue our work on this landmark regeneration project with our appointment to the second phase.

“We’re honoured to further our contribution to a development that will provide Huddersfield residents and visitors with a new cultural and social hub. Utilising our extensive expertise with complex heritage projects, we will carefully safeguard the site’s 90-year heritage while positively contributing to a state-of-the-art cultural destination.”
