A mixed-use development featuring a new Premier Inn above retail and restaurant ground floor units has opened on the site of the former magistrates court in Lewes, East Sussex.
BSP was the civil and structural engineer for the project, developed by Quora and built by contractor Jessops Construction.
Featuring a 62-bedroom hotel over two storeys, the £6 million scheme also includes around 14,000 sq ft of ground floor space.
BSP engineers designed the development to take account of a flood defence sewer which runs under the site.
“The building is set within a sensitive historic town and we all had to pay particular focus on the materials and the detailing,” said BSP director Carl Hilton. “This was worth it, as it has resulted in a building that the whole team and the town should be proud of.”
