Jackson Building Services has completed a £1.3 million, nine-month project to transform the old Armoury building at the Imperial War Museum Duxford.

Externally, both buildings feature brick and render finishes to their facades, with timber frame windows and majority tiled roofs.
An environmentally friendly bike shed, with a green sedum roof, provides secure parking and a rainwater storage tank will provide irrigation for a new garden area.
ISG Jackson will also carry out a range of hard and soft landscaping finishes on site, with the project scheduled for completion by July 2008.
Phillip Allerton, director of ISG Jackson's Living division, commented: "Working with key regional educational institutions, ISG Jackson has secured high profile student and graduate residential schemes valued at over GBP9 million within the past two months alone".
