The transformation of the Kettering Art Gallery and Library, known as “Cornerstone”, has created a unified site for Kettering Library and the Alfred East Art Gallery, a building designed in 1913 by the founder of GSSArchitecture, John Alfred Gotch. Works included significant refurbishments to the site, as well as the construction of a new two-storey contemporary extension, which enhances the existing accommodation provision. The project aims to help create more usable space and increase accessibility to open these historic buildings up to be used by as many people as possible. Externally, the proposal seeks to further connect the buildings through the creation of new external areas, as well as enhancing access via a new ramp.
