Meyer Shircore Architects were engaged to upgrade and reinvigorate the Manning Buildings, specifically the retail frontage, the arcade through to Paddy Troy Mall and the First-Floor space, some of which had not been occupied for decades.
New office space and lobby areas were added to the rear of the building in a lightweight structure so as not to damage the original fabric and have been designed to complement the original building rather than mimic it so that the “old and new” can be easily distinguished.
