Women in Property Northern Scotland in conjunction with CHAP Group is delighted to invite you to a site visit of MaryField West Tram Depot, Dundee
The former Grade B listed Maryfield Tram Depot is currently being converted into a modern museum which will become the new home of Dundee Museum of Transport.
The museum will become an important hub within the local community, incorporating café facilities open to the public, alongside shared use of the grounds and spaces within the building.
Reflecting the museum’s commitment to sustainability, the project embraces best practice in the adaptive reuse of an existing building, promoting net zero ambitions and circular economy principles. This approach aligns with the Scottish Government’s emerging Just Transition Strategy for Buildings and Construction.
Beyond preserving an important piece of Dundee’s heritage, the museum will create a lasting legacy for the city, delivering local economic benefits and establishing a significant cultural and tourism destination at the heart of the community.
Event Programme
Over lunch in the CHAP site office, we will begin with a presentation from the architects, Andrew Black Design, who will share insights into the vision and design behind this exciting project.
This will be followed by a presentation from CHAP Group, outlining the delivery of the project to date and providing an insight into the challenges and opportunities involved in bringing this historic building back to life.
Following the presentations, attendees will be guided on a tour of the site, with an opportunity for further networking over coffee.
Paul Jennings, Executive Director, Dundee Museum of Transport stated: “We are delighted to be working with CHAP on such an important project both for the museum and the wider community. CHAP’s experience will help us deliver the best possible outcome, readying the Maryfield Depot for public use for the first time in its 125-year history, safeguarding it for future generations to enjoy.”
Whether you are a regular attendee at our events or considering joining us for the first time, we would be delighted to welcome you.
This is a fantastic opportunity to network with industry colleagues while gaining first-hand insight into an important cultural project for Dundee.
