Designed by architects Mecanoo, features include creating a new new 1,500m² flexible exhibition hall that can accommodate displays of differing content and scale. Wider plans include a 150m² learning suite, 250m² collections handling area and up to 275m² of commercial visitor facilities including a café and retail area. Works will be carried out by BAM and completion is scheduled for spring next year.

Perth & Kinross Council said: "It is intended that planning and listed building consent applications for the proposed development will be submitted in Summer 2018. As well as the public engagement session, there will also be a formal opportunity to make representations to Perth & Kinross Council as planning authority once a planning application has been submitted."
