Derby Silk Mill

Located on the former site of Lombe’s Mill, a historic silk mill which marks the southern end of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site and will feature hundreds of exhibits within the world of ‘Making’.

The Derby Silk Mill project was procured using the Integrated Project Insurance (IPI) methodology. This is one of three new procurement methods being trialled by the Cabinet Office and is aimed at improving efficiency in the construction industry. A key element of the IPI process involves appointing the whole project team, including the constructors, at the point of inception.

The museum is located on the former site of Lombe’s Mill, a historic silk mill which marks the southern end of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site and will feature hundreds of exhibits within the world of ‘Making’.

The project involved refurbishing the existing 3-storey building and adding a large hall extension adjacent to it.
