BAM, which has offices in the capital, has been appointed on a preconstruction services agreement to undertake surveys and investigation works on the site.
The overall project, valued at almost £5m, will see the UK's first purpose-built gymnasium, currently an events space, converted into a restaurant ideally located opposite the entrance to St Pancras station.

A detailed set of preliminary investigations are required due to the building's heritage status. Built in 1864 to 1865 for the German Gymnastic Society, it is a rare example of the use of laminated roof trusses. Celebrated architects, Allies and Morrison, has designed the conversion project which aims to be completed by Easter 2015.
