Birmingham City Council has approved plans to transform and restore the Grade-II*-listed Birmingham Botanical Gardens, home to the Midland’s largest collection of over 10,000 botanic species. Donald Insall Associates is acting as conservation architects and heritage consultants on the £14m capital project ‘Growing our Green Heritage’, collaborating closely with lead architect Howells and Webb Yates Engineers, Mann Williams Consulting Civil and Structural Engineers, Camlins and Hoare Lea. Supported by a Stage 1 National Lottery Heritage Fund grant, the project will provide a low carbon sympathetic reinterpretation of the existing gardens and structure, and will deliver a long-term sustainable future for the gardens by upgrading visitor facilities alongside careful conservation of the historic fabric. The 15-acre site is home to heritage assets including four Victorian glasshouses which will be restored to reflect their original form, and adapted to serve contemporary horticultural needs whilst protecting the valuable species within. Once complete, the transformation will align this heritage asset with Birmingham City Council’s Our Future City 2040 plan which aims to create a green, sustainable and walkable city. Matthew Vaughan, Practice Director at Donald Insall Associates, said: “The Birmingham Botanical Gardens are a landmark not just for their historic buildings but more so their living collection of rare species from across the globe. Conservation of the glasshouses to respond to the particular heritage considerations will be a key challenge, protecting the historic fabric while enhancing their performance for the needs of the collection within. We look forward to realising our client’s vision for enhancing the sustainability, accessibility and heritage of the Botanical Gardens for the people of Birmingham and beyond.” Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/dc2HvcZm #BuildingBrum #Birmingham
