Breathing new life into an iconic building
We have completed the second phase of redevelopment at Swindon’s Grade II listed Carriage Works.
The £2.5m project saw the structural refurbishment and re-roofing of two units, as well as the construction of a mezzanine level.
Unit 7 will be an Innovation Centre for Applied Sustainable Technologies for the University of Bath, while unit 9 will serve as a state-of-the-art media facility for local production company Create Studios.
The two newly refurbished units have been delivered ready for use this summer.
It forms just one part of a wider regeneration project by Swindon Borough Council, utilising major government investment to breathe new life into the historic site and upgrade other parts of the town.

Built in 1876 as part of Brunel’s Great Western Works, the Carriage Works and other heritage buildings in the area have also received funding from Historic England as part of its Heritage Action Zone programme.
