Guildhall restoration

Green technology is being used (to heat the building, lower costs and reduce environmental impact) as part of the £16.5 million scheme to restore and redevelop York’s historic Guildhall.

The project will also:

  • address significant structural problems with the riverside tower
  • tackle subsiding and cracking, stabilising the building with major underpinning
  • replace main roofs to prevent further water damage
  • give a new lease of life
