Blackburn approves Exchange overhaul 

The grade two-listed former cotton exchange on King William Street will be converted into an office and events hub. 

Designed by Buttress Architects, the redevelopment of Blackburn’s Exchange building would deliver a 2,200 sq ft collaborative workspace on the lower ground floor, formerly Tiggi’s restaurant.  

This workspace would sit alongside two 200 sq ft meeting rooms and a 1,100 sq ft flexible meeting zone, as well as two 300 sq ft offices. 

Upstairs, the building’s second principal space will retain its flexibility to accommodate events and exhibitions with proposals featuring a 6,300 sq ft open space and bar facilities. 

Charity Re:Source is behind the proposals to breathe new life into the 1865 building. 

Along with Buttress, the project team includes Clach Conservation Engineering and Parker Wilson Consulting.
