Scots architects to design nuclear archive
A LEADING Scottish architecture firm has been commissioned to design the UK's first National Nuclear Archive.
Reiach and Hall, the award-winning Edinburgh practice, has been given the brief for the new 15 million complex in Wick, Caithness.
The building will hold up to 30 million digital records, papers and photos chronicling the history of the UK's civil nuclear industry since the 1940s.
Reiach and Hall will start work next month and the proposed completion date is the summer of 2013. Randall Bargelt, director of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, said: "This is a UK facility which will be housed in a building of international quality, a new asset for the Wick community and hugely important store of history and knowledge."
