Requirement: Showcases for Bath Abbey Discovery Centre – Expired.

A brief introduction
The Footprint project at Bath Abbey is about moving from past to future. Thanks to this pioneering £19.4million initiative, the historic floor has been saved from collapse and the building has been opened up in new ways – to be enjoyed in its full glory by future generations.

The Abbey is also far more energy-efficient with new LED lighting system and underfloor heating that is powered by renewable energy from Bath's famous hot springs.

After so much of the project being hidden behind the scenes, the Abbey has now completed a new Song School, meeting rooms and office space in Kingston Buildings, as well as a brand new learning space which will transform the offer not just to the Abbey congregation, but to the city and its visitors. The Abbey Shop has also had a complete transformation.

All that remains to be completed is the Discovery Centre in the south side of the Abbey, which is due to open in autumn 2022.
