Naylor Concrete supplied The Hepworth Gallery Project

Naylor Concrete Ltd supplied Hi-Spec and Fairfaced Lintels to the Hepworth Wakefield which has a gross floor area of 5,232m2 and 1600m2 of gallery space. The Hepworth Wakefield is the only gallery to open outside London in over 50 years. The Hepworth Wakefield houses a collection of sculptures by local born artist Barbara Hepworth alongside the works of other prominent artists. Wakefield Council began project development in 2003 with a RIBA international architecture competition that led to the selection of David Chipperfield as architect. Design development started in 2004 and construction began 3 years later. Construction of the gallery was completed in 2010, the fit out and infrastructure works continued until late 2011. The Hepworth Wakefield is at the heart of Wakefields regeneration and has helped to secure significant private sector funding to restore listed mills and warehouses in this important conservation area.
