At long last, works are commencing on the visitor centre at the Giants Causeway in Northern Ireland. The project has taken an age to get off the ground after the previous structure on the site burned down in 2000. The National Trust is now spending £18.5 million on the new centre, designed by architects Henghan Peng and with interpretation by Event Communications.

I’ve been watching this story for a while, since visiting the site a few years back. There’s a piece about the new visitor centre live on Museum [Insider]. This will also be one of the chapter’s in the forthcoming e-book about museum and heritage development project, which we’ll be officially announcing next week.
