The refurbishment of the Quadrangle is now into its fourth month with demolition work due to be completed by the end of March. The first floor has undergone significant transformation with both the M&E works and window installation almost finished.

Work has also been carried out to prepare openings in the existing roof for stairwells to access the new rooftop restaurant and the steel structure will start being built from the end of February.

Involvement in the local community will be important once the Quadrangle is complete, but it’s also already a key theme during the construction phase. Light Up Cheltenham came to a successful end and a group of 16 students from the University of Gloucestershire’s Interior Design and Property Management course were given a tour of the site. They are using the Quadrangle project as part of a case study module and will be returning again once work has progressed further.
