of the current museum housed within the former workhouse

building.

TheThackrayMedicalMuseumfirstopenedinMarch1997,supported by an HLF grant of £3 million. The museum is

now home to over 70,000 medical artefacts and books and

receives over 70,000 visitors a year. The museum’s main

purpose is to engage audiences with the material heritage

of the medical and healthcare industry, in order to increase

public understanding of the history of medical treatments

and products, and of the science research and development

behind them.TheMuseumfulfils thispurposebycollectingand preserving medical and healthcare products and material,

and by using those collections in innovative programmes that

engage and fascinate people of all ages, enabling audiences

to understand the relevance of this heritage and the history of

1.1 Museum Background

The Thackray Medical Museum is housed within the former

Leeds Union Workhouse. The museum has its origins in

a small family-run chemist shop in Leeds, opened in 1902

by Charles Thackray. The business developed into a major

medicalsupplyfirm,supplyingdrugsandmedicalequipmentacross the world. As the business grew Charles’s grandson

Paul used some of the firm’s medical supplies, books,tradecataloguesandequipment to setupa smallmedicalmuseum.When the business was finally sold in 1990 thefamily established a charitable trust to develop the collection

and enable the wider public to learn more about the story

of medicine. With the help of generous contributions from

the Heritage Lottery Fund, private donors and the Thackray

Medical Research Trust this small collection formed the basis

medicine to their lives today.

The Museum is Accredited with Arts Council England. Since

opening in 1997, it has attracted between 60,000-80,000

visitors each year. In order to enhance its existing success

the Museum is embarking on a major redevelopment project

to improve the exhibition space, education centre and visitor

facilities as well as upgrading and repairing the historic fabric

of the existing building to ensure a sustainable and viable

future for the collection.

1.2 Museum Location

The Thackray Medical Museum is situated on Beckett Street,

next to St James’s Hospital in Leeds, two miles from the city

centre.

1.3 Museum Future

In March 2015 the museum was awarded a successful HLF

Round 1 pass to develop proposals to upgrade the existing

museum. The project aims to give the museum a healthy and

sustainable future by developing galleries with wide appeal,

improving the visitor facilities and upgrading the historic

fabric of the building.

enhanced.

1.5BuildingHistory&Significance

The Thackray Medical Museum building is a Grade II

listed building located in the west corner of the St James’s

University Hospital – “Jimmy’s” – site. Although it operates

independently, and has its own entrance from Beckett Street, it

remains closely connected to the hospital, both in its historical

development, and in its ongoing use.

Designed by the Leeds-based architectural practice of Perkin

& Backhouse, the foundation stone of the building was laid in

1858. The building opened as the Leeds Union Workhouse

in 1861, housing nearly 800 inhabitants. The building was

later converted to hospital use, and notably became the East

Leeds Military Hospital during the World War I. Along with the

main hospital, it became part of the National Health Service

after World War II, and continued in healthcare use until the

early 1990s. From 1995-97 it was converted to the Thackray

Medical Museum.

Perkin & Backhouse also designed the adjacent Chapel,

situated between the 1848 school building and the workhouse.

It was likely completed in 1861 around the same time as the

workhouse building itself. The chapel takes a conventional

cruciform plan but the alignment with other buildings on the

site means that the liturgical east end is at the north-west. It

2.0 The Brief

Extent of HLF proposals.

Areas not included within this HLF

application (areas are addressed within

the wider museum masterplan).

Conference, office and ancillary accommodation not included within this

HLF application.


1. EntranceFoyer- The original three storey stair has

been retained largely intactcreatingastatelyfirstimpression upon entering the building.

2. Reception Desk - The multifunction reception

point serves museum visitors, education groups,

conference guests and car park users. The size and

location results in a bottle neck during busy periods.

3. Rear circulation space- Having moved through

the grand Victorian stair hall the visitor is met with

the less impressive rear circulation area with little

natural light and lowered ceilings.

4. Cross circulation - Due to the location of the

reception desk all visitors - be that public, education

or those using only the shop or cafe - are funnelled

through the narrow cafe entrance. This creates

management issues aswell as affecting the cafeatmosphere.

5. Cafe Layout - Although spacious the furniture and

servery layout limits the covers to around 40. The

layout creates an often bustling atmosphere, but it

lacksquietspacestositawayfromthethoroughfare- key to welcoming users from the hospital who may

beseekingamoretranquilenvironment.

6. Shop - Many of the original features of the shop

have been concealed with retail units, including the

original sash windows.

7. Kitchen - A large catering kitchen is located next

to the education spaces. The space enables a hot

foodoffertobeprovidedbutusesvaluablespacethat has potential to be utilised by the education

centre.

8. Secondary entrance - The original Workhouse

featured six entrances for use by the occupants.

These are now only used for escape but have the

potential to be used for education groups to relieve

pressure on the main entrance.

3.0 Design Development

9. MainStair- Once the visitor exits 'The Street' they

are encouraged to ascend the main stair. Other

than the lift this is the main vertical circulation which

results in cross circulation of the narrow stair.

10. FireScreens -Theadditionof firescreensat theheadofthestairsignificantlydetractfromthequalityof the Victorian stair.

11. RearWing - Three education spaces are located on

12. FirstFloorLanding-Theentrancetothefirstfloorexhibition does not give the impression of a museum

space.Visitorsoftenfind themselvesdisorientatedand frequently navigate towards the conferencefacilities to the west.

13. Eaststair - The most easterly stair is a later addition

to the building. It is currently used to lead visitors

down to the 'Life Zone'. By using this stair to return to

14. Life Zone - Visitors exit the museum experience via

the 'Life Zone', a space orientated towards younger

visitors. The space contrasts with the more sober

3.2 Design Strategy

• Address circulation issues by creating a

central circulation core.

• Relocate the welcome desk to create more

circulation space to appreciate the impressive

main stair hall.

• Integrate rear wing into the heart of the

museum so it no longer has the sense of being

a disconnected annexe space, secondary to

the main body of the museum.

• Create a distinct education centre to the east

end of the ground floorwith an independententrance and direct access into the exhibition

space - avoiding the need to go through the

cafe.

• Improve the cafe layout and offer to attractmore visitors from both the museum and the

hospital.

• Wherever possible ensure all spaces have a

dual use to allow for flexible use throughoutthe year maximising potential income and

minimising down time.

• Designwithfutureproofinginmindtoensurethat the long term aspirations of the museum

have the potential to be met.

• Carry out necessary fabric repairs and

upgrades to the existing building to minimise

future running costs.

artistic installations giving potential for collaborations with

artists. Similar collaborations have been made with great

success at the Wellcome Trust in London, a biomedical

The exhibition spaces will remain in the same location, with the only

exception being the reduction of the Life Zone to provide additional

education space (see section 3.6).

A number of new or enlarged structural openings are proposed to

createamorefluidexhibitionspace,movingawayfromthecellularnature of the existing layout The original workhouse stairs will be

retained. These stairs with their work stone treads and austere brick

walls are an important physical reminder of the history of the former

workhouse building. It is proposed that the stair to the north east (3)

is used for interpretation, although all stair will remain accessible.

This stair can also be accessed directly from the education spaces

onthegroundfloor.

Aswith thegroundfloor thebaywindow to thesouthwillalsobere-opened for public circulation, creating a more intimate space with

views to the Beckett Street Cemetery and beyond (4).

It is proposed that the distinction between the circulation spaces and

the exhibition spaces will be blurred with artefacts being exhibited

throughout the public areas of the building. This will ensure that

rooms isolated from the principal visitor route, such as the Life Zone,

the Wilkinson Apothecary Gallery and the temporary exhibition

space are connected with exhibits and therefore less likely to be

missed by visitors.

Please refer to the Leach RIBA Stage III report for full details on the

exhibition design proposals.


Theincreaseinfloorareafrom110sqmto240sqmispartiallyattributed to the reduction in the size of the Life Zone allowing

for the creation of Education Space 3. It is proposed that the

current contents of the Life Zone will be rationalised into the

smallerspace,howeverduringschoolholidaysandquieterperiods the two spaces can be reconnected and used as part

of the public exhibition space.

The room in the bay window connecting the two spaces will be

used as a Quiet Room. The Quiet, or ‘Low Arousal Room’, is

designedtoofferchildrenwithautism,orsimilarneurologicalconditions, an environment that is low in stimulation (people,

sounds, light, noise, movement) away from the potential

overload of the museum or education areas.

The education spaces in the rear block will remain unaltered,

however the new through lift will provide access to this area

which can only currently be reached by via the stair from the

firstfloor.Thenewstairleadingdirectlyfromthegroundfloor-ratherthanviathefirstfloor-willhelpmaketheseeducationareas a more integral part of the museum.

3.6 Ground Floor Education Centre

The museum currently has two dedicated education spaces

on the ground floor and three further spaces of the uppergroundflooroftherearwing.Inordertoexpandthelearningfacilities and the education programmes they provide a

largermoreflexiblespaceisneeded.Currentlytheeducationfacilities are geared solely towards primary and secondary

school groups. It is proposed that the new spaces will be

designedwith flexibility inmind, allowing them to be usedduring weekends, evenings and school holidays for uses

ranging from educational courses, special events and

temporary exhibitions.

Byadjustingthevisitorflow(see3.4)toorientatepeoplebackto the central atrium rather than down the east stair into the

Life Zone, this area of the building can be dedicated solely

to education. This results in a number of benefits to themuseum:

• Separate education entrance next to thecoachpark,relievingpressureonthemainreception.

• Ability to create a fully safeguarded areawithnopublicaccess.

• Ability to open the education centre foreveningevents(eg.nightclasses)withoutthe need to open the main entrance,therefore reduce staffing and securitycosts.




The cafe kitchen currently prepares food for both the

museumcafeandtheconferencefacilitiesonthefirstfloor.It isproposedthatthecafemenuoffer,andtheconferencecatering offer, will be streamlined to allow the size of thekitchen and servery to be reduced.

3.7 Cafe

The cafe is currently located on the north side of the building.

Through the design process various alternative locations

were reviewed, particularly ones to the south of the building.

It was determined that the costs involved in relocating cafe,

kitchenandnecessaryservicesoutweighedthebenefitsthemuseum would gain from the southerly aspect and direct

access to the outside space.

Catering storage is currently located throughout the museum,

including in the bay to the south of the Life Zone. It is proposed

that all cold storage will be rationalised and re-located into

new external cold storage units located on the plinth at the

back of the building. A new lightweight screen with metal

cladding will screen these from view.


original ceiling will be removed. Services will still remain at

ceiling level but it is proposed that these will be exposed to

3.8 Shop

The shop is currently located in one of the principal rooms

to the east of the main entrance. The room was formerly the

Work House Master's Parlour, although it was enlarged and

4.0 Heritage Impact

The approach to any alterations to the building has been made in adherence with the recommendations of the Conservation Plan.

It is important to retain the overall significance of the building during any proposed work on the site. However, it is recognised that some change might be required to the building and within the site in

order to ensure the sustainability of the existing use. In some cases the building fails to meet the

standards required to fulfil its use, particularly with regards access and the ability to store, handle and display collections. A project to alter the building to make it sustainable and useful will allow

the retention and enhancement of key significant features of the building. Some areas of lesser significance may need to be altered in order to enhance the areas of greater significance as part of future proposals.

Thackray Medical Museum Conservation Plan 2016

4.1 External Alterations

The south elevation of the building remains largely unaltered

from its original form. The projecting wings to the east and west

were added during the early twentieth century and altered in

the 1990s to form escape stairs. All sash and case windows

were also replaced at this time. The elevation is generally

in a good condition having been extensively overhauled and

repaired as part of the 1990s alteration works. The north

and east elevations have been more considerably altered

with new lift shafts, stair cores and service blocks added

throughout the twentieth century. Externally only discrete

alterations are proposed. These include:

4.1.2 South Elevation

Alterationof theexistingflushfireescapedoor tocreateanew dedicated Education Centre entrance. It is proposed that

to the replacement door will be panelled to match the original

doors elsewhere on the south elevation (1).

4.1.3 North Elevation

New external cold storage units are proposed for the rear

plinth to the back of the cafe and kitchen. These units will free

up space internally for education and exhibition use. These

units will be concealed with a new screen clad in lightweight

metal cladding. It is suggested that this could be used for

signage to identify the building as a museum rather than a

continuation of the hospital (2).

4.1.4 Rear Wing

A small pitched roof connects the rear wing to the main

building. Evidence of a small former opening within the ceiling

oftheuppergroundfloorsuggestedthat therewasasmallcupola at some point. It order to bring much needed daylight

into the rear atrium of the building a new contemporary

cupola is proposed (3).

The interior saw substantial alterations when the building was converted for museum purposes in the 1990s. The main area of

significance–theentrancehallandmainstair–werecarefullyretained,andrepairedappropriately.Glazedfirescreensacrossthearcade screen at each landing, which likely date to the NHS period, were either retained or replaced. Other than the opening up

of walls and removal of ward doors the main alterations to the interiors are as a result of the new services that were installed as

part of the museum refurbishment. Within the main circulation areas these are fully concealed by lowered suspended ceiling tiles.

Other than within the main stair few original cornicing or joinery details remain, however it is hoped that more will be discovered

upon the removal of later interventions. Internally the key alterations to the internal fabric are as follows:

4.2.1 New Openings

New and enlarged openings to the spine walls running east

west within the main exhibition spaces. There is no visible

evidence of original plaster work or joinery in these areas,

The opening into the shop is shown to be enlarged to

maximise circulation space and reduce blind spots between

the cafe, reception and shop sales point. A superseded

ceiling currently conceals the original fabric of the building,

but it is assumed that the original cornice is retained intact

above. Where openings are formed and cornice is intact a

down-stand will be carefully formed to ensure the original

fabric is retained.

Detail on the extent of removals can be found in the appendix.

4.2.2 Rear stair

Removal of the upper ground to first floor stair within therear wing. This stair would have originally led from the work

house dormitories to the rear block, likely to have been the

residential accommodation for the matrons. The removal of

thisstairresultsinanumberofbenefitstothemuseum:

• Directaccessfromthegroundfloor to therearwingclass rooms.

• Double height atrium bringing natural daylight into the

rear of the building.

• Improved sight-lines and visitor orientation.

• Improvedvisitorflow.

This is described in greater detail within section 3.4.

4.2.3 New stair to lower ground

TheexistingstairleadingtotheWCsonthegroundfloorwillbe retained but built over with the ground to upper ground

stair (see section 3.4). To maintain access a new steel stair

will leaddown to the lowerground.Thiswill requireanewopeningtobeformedinthegroundfloor.Wherepossibleasmuch of the original structure will be retained and existing

floor boards retained for floor repairs elsewhere. A newstructuralopeningwillalsoberequiredatlowergroundfloorlevel. The loss of original fabric is restricted to the areas

of lesser significancewhere alterations have already beencarried out during the 1990s phase of development.

4.2.3 Glazed screens to stair

Thestair issignificantlycompromisedby the late twentiethcentury addition of glazed screens within the decorative

plaster arches. It is assumed that these were added by the

NHS and later upgraded as part of the museum works. It is

proposed that these will be carefully removed to allow the

architecture if thestair tobe fullyappreciated fromthefirstfloorlanding.

5.1 Elevation Repairs

The elevation is generally in a good condition having been

extensively overhauled and repaired as part of the 1990s

alteration works. As part of the RIBA stage 4 Design Stage

a full condition survey of the elevations will be carried out to

identify essential repairs. Any repairs to the facades will be

on a like for like basis using sound conservation principles

and skilled experienced masons.

5.2 Roof Repairs and Upgrades

The roof is in a poorer condition resulting in a series of

leaks throughout the length of the building. The leaks can be

attributed to a number causes:

• Slipped or damaged slates

• Missing or damaged lead flashings and gutters

• Failing flat felt roofing

• Failing internal chutes

• Leaking rooflights

• Inadequaterainwatergoodsandgutters

• Lack of maintenance access.

The works to the roof will be in the form of either like for

5.0 Repairs and upgrades

The original building is constructed from red brick with stone detailing to window and door surrounds, quoins, cornice andbalustrades. All the windows to the south, east and west have been replaced with new sash and case window - with the exception

of the decorative windows into the main stair - and those to the north with UPVC. The central three-bay tower has canted bay

windowstoeitherside,andhighly-detailedcentralentrancebayrisingtoalargesquare-plancentraltowerwithlargedatestone,and ogee-roofs at each corner. The double-pile slate roof is largely hidden by the parapet.

The rear wing is formed from the original two-storey brickwork kitchen block, a large single-storey later addition and the original

Victorian dining hall block to the north. Only the original kitchen block is leased by the Thackray Medical Museum with the

remainder in continuing NHS use.

The roof to the main block is formed from two three pitched roofs, one to the north and two to the south separated by the tower.

Running the full length of the building is a flat valley roof with domed polycarbonate roof lights and a felt roof covering. The kitchen

block features three pitched roofs, two to the north and a small roof forming a connection with the main building.

6.0 CDMThe CDM (Construction Design and Management) regulations

are intended to ensure that health and safety issues are

properly considered during the development stage to ensure

that the risk of harm to those who have to build, maintain

and use the building is reduced. As the Principal Designer

Simpson & Brown will be supported in this role with specialist

advice from GMO Consulting. As part of the RIBA Stage 3

review we have assessed the current proposals in line with

the current CDM regulations.

6.1 Pre-Construction

Design decisions made during the pre-construction phase

can have a significant influence in ensuring the projectis delivered in a way that secures the health and safety of

everyoneaffectedbythework.AtThackrayMedicalMuseumthe Design Team have reviewed all available building records

and surveys in advance of developing design proposals

in order to identify existing hazards as well as missing

informationrequired.Additionalsurveyswerecommissioned,including localised intrusive investigations and an extended

asbestos survey.

6.2 Construction Phasing

The conference facilities on the first floor and the leasedoffices on the second floor provide a vital income for themuseum. It is proposed that the construction works are

programmed to minimise the time when the conference

roomsareclosedandtheofficesrelocated.Inorderforthistobe achieved key issues regarding Health and Safety will need

to be considered.

FireEscapeStrategy:Afireescapestrategywillneedtobecarefully planned and approved to maintain safe escape from

these areas when construction works are being carried out

elsewhere in the building.

Siteinsurance: The insurance and contractual arrangements

will need to be planned to allow for a sectional completion to

the works. This will allow areas of the building to be returned

to the client in advance of the full contract completing.

Noise:The HSE Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005

says you must prevent or reduce risks from exposure to noise

at work. The building work must therefore be programmed to

minimise the risk of loud construction works being carried out

whilst parts of the building are potentially occupied.

SiteAccessandManagement: All construction sites must

operated without putting members of the public at risk. The

contractorwill be required to submit proposals that clearlyidentifyhowthesiteboundariescanbeclearlydefinedand

managed to address of the phased occupation of the building

whilst maintaining a safe site. Site safety should not only

consider the works within the compound boundary but also

theimmediatevicinitywherevehicledeliveriesmayaffectthepublic.

Scaffolding: All scaffolding must be designed to preventpeople outside the boundary being struck while they are

erecting,dismantlingandusingscaffoldingandotheraccessequipment.

6.3 Building Maintenance

On completion the client must have all the necessary

information needed to ensure health and safety during any

subsequentworksuchasmaintenance,cleaning,alterationor demolition. This information will be supplied as part the

Health and Safety File in accordance with the latest CDM

regulations including:

• A description of the work carried out.

• Any hazards that have not been eliminated.

• Key structural principles.

• Hazardous materials used.

• Information regarding the removal or dismantling of

installedplantandequipment.

• Healthandsafetyinformationaboutequipmentprovidedfor cleaning or maintaining the structure.

• Thenature,locationandmarkingsofsignificantservices.

• Information and as-built drawings of the building.

It is proposed that as part of the works access for maintenance

of the roof will be improved. A new roof hatch will lead directly

from the second floor corridor to the flat roof forming thevalley gutter between the two pitches.

up the new rear atrium stair which is broken up with the 'Lab

Landing'. This should prove to be a far less daunting climb

than the existing main stair. The landing will also feature a

seating area and space to pause and view the exhibition

displayorsimplyenjoythelightfilledspace.

All new stairs will be designed with easy to grip handrails and

clearly legible stair nosings to aid use by ambulant disabled

and the visually impaired. The new circulation route will

also encourage visitors back to the central circulation core,

creating a more legible space that will improve orientation.

The use of the central core for vertical circulation will also

ensure all museum users will experience the same visitor

route and exhibition story. This will also make sure that school

and family groups do not have to be separated should some

ofthegrouprequiretheuseofthelift.

7.0 Accessibility

Since opening in 1997 creating a museum that was accessible

and welcoming to all was at the heart of the Thackray

Medical Museum, however the organisation is aware that

improvement can and should be made to both the fabric of

the building and the facilities it provides.

The proposals respond to the needs of a wide range of users,

including older people, children, parents with small children

and disabled people. The design recognises that disabled

people is a broad term used in a social model context to

group a wide range of users who can face barriers within the

built environment. It includes:

•Wheelchairusers

•Ambulantdisabledpeople

•Deafandhearingimpairedpeople

•Blindandpartiallysightedusers

•Neurodivergentpeople

7.1 New lift

Allprincipalfloorsofthebuildingarecurrentlyaccessiblebythelift,howevertherearwing(upperandlowergroundfloors)canonlybeaccessedviaastair from thefirstfloor.Anewthrough lift is proposed that will provide access to both the

principalfloorsandtherearwing.

Thespecificationfor the lifthasbeenchosentoprovideanextra long internal car dimension (1.7m) that will accommodate

a wide variety of wheelchairs, power chairs and walking aids.

Thenewliftwillalsobefasterandmoreefficient toreducewaiting time for users.

7.2 Revised Visitor Flow

As an organisation the museum are keen to, where

appropriate, encourage users to use the stairs rather than the

lift.Thevisitorflowstrategyhasbeenrevisedtodirectvisitors

7.3 WC Facilities

It is proposed that the existing WC will be replaced on the

groundfloor.Thelayoutchangestothegroundfloorwillbringthe WC access within the public circulation space, rather than

within the entrance to the exhibition space. A new lobby will

also be formed to provide more space and privacy away from

the circulation thoroughfare.

Two further accessible WCs are proposed. One will be

located on the 'Lab Landing' and a further one at the east

endofthefirstfloorexhibitionspace.ThiswillensureaWCisavailableonallfloorswithouttheneedforthelifttobeusedfor access.

In addition to the three accessible WCs, which will all be

footed with new DOC M regulation sanitary-ware, a new

'Changing Places' WC is proposed on the lower ground

floor.TheseWCsaredesignedforpeoplewithprofoundandmultiple learning disabilities, as well people with other physical

disabilities such as spinal injuries, muscular dystrophy and

7.4 Quiet Room and Rest Areas

The museum exhibition features some relatively intense

exhibits which can result in visitors needing a calm space to

pauseandreflect.Thesizeofthebuildingalsomeansthelessablemayrequiresomewheretositandrestduringtheirvisit.Seating spaces with low stimulus will therefore be integrated

The museum has a number of working hearing loops. It is

proposed that these will be retained and where necessary

extended and upgraded. Further information regarding the

audio accessibility of the exhibition display is further explained

within the Leach design proposals.
