Bivouac worked with Ampleforth Abbey to plan, design and project manage its new Visitor Centre. We took four run-down rooms and turned them into a bright and interesting Centre where there is plenty for all the family to enjoy.

We planned the themed rooms, working with the Abbey's archivists, and designed the schemes for the different zones. We worked with our lovely contractors and associates to create interactives, panels, illustrated tactile interactives, a bespoke resource table, a 3D wall, full-height timelines, touch screens, audio stations and a film.
The Centre was opened to the public on the 16th July 2011. The project was brought in on time and to budget and is proving to be very popular with both the monastic community and visitors to Ampleforth.
