Consultant Atkins has unveiled images of its concept design for the £11m county records office to be built in Manchester city centre. The project will involve the refurbishment of the grade II-listed Mackie Mayor building in the city’s Northern Quarter together with a newly built record store. The building will provide an archive facility for Manchester council and the surrounding boroughs, creating a purpose-designed home for all of the county’s essential records.
