Architects are expected to report back on their final findings of a feasibility study for relocating Stirling Archives within weeks, with a new centrally located rebuild still a frontrunner.
But options to revamp the former BHS and Debenhams stores or New Look in Port Street, said to have shown challenges in initial findings, have not yet been ruled out say Stirling Council officers.
In an update to a recent council community planning and regeneration panel officers said technical requirements for the Archives service such as floor strength, air conditioning and humidity control made identifying an appropriate space “challenging” and that the new location had to be “future proofed” for 25 years.
