The discovery of RAAC at York Castle Museum cost almost £500,000.
RAAC - which stands for reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete - is a lightweight, 'bubbly' form of concrete commonly used in construction between the 1950s and mid-1990s, according to the government's website. Last year, RAAC was found in the roof that York Castle Museum installed in the late 1980s on the female prison and was consequently closed to the public from September 2023 to December 2023.
“Surveys have also highlighted the urgent need to replace or overhaul the roof covering of the female prison to protect the RAAC, the building and collections and the safety of our visitors and staff in the short term. “Again, we have done the work to understand the cost of this work.” Visitor numbers at the York Castle Museum, the Yorkshire Museum and York Art Gallery are expected to drop from 2023 to 2024.
