ProposalDescription: 

The proposed works is to upgrade the electrical lighting and fittings to match current technologies and energy saving fittings, while bring the building inline with current regulations. With that, a generator will be installed to keep the precinct running during national load shedding. The generator will have a housing built to accommodate it and protect it from the elements. Further to this the existing mechanical air handling systems will be upgraded to current energy saving technologies, while at the same time replacing broken and redundant units. All in existing building on ERF 2535, Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal. Drawings: 5044-001; 5044-100; 5044-101; 5044-200 & 5044-300

Expanded_Motivation: 

The Museum building as current is fitted with outdated and redundant mechanical and electrical fittings and fixtures. These fittings and fixtures, which are predominantly circa 1960 or later fittings, do not work efficiently or are not in working order at all. Over and above being non-compliant to current regulations. The intention of the upgrades is to bring the existing mechanical & electrical components of the building in-line with current technology and efficiency, while at the same time repairing the non-functioning equipment and fittings. These upgrades will in turn bring the building in-line to current regulations. It is in our opinion that the work to be carried out will not impact the current state of the building or its architectural significance, and all new fittings and fixtures will be positioned where existing items of the same currently reside. All the while bringing the building and its functional areas to a more comfortable and user friendly environment for both staff and visitors. At the main exhibition hall of the museum there is no universal access to the mezzanine level, and therefore the installation of a new platform lift will bring the building in-line to current regulations while providing universal access to all the exhibition areas of the main hall.
