We worked closely with the University of Leeds throughout all approval stages to secure funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) for the design and construction of this new, environmentally-controlled exhibition space.
As Architects for the scheme, the project was fully modelled using Building Information Modelling (BIM), including a fully developed model of the existing listed building elements.
The scheme involved the refurbishment of a suite of rooms to create a newly formed climatically-controlled gallery space and adjoining public engagement room within the confines of an existing, larger campus building, which is Grade II listed.
"We are incredibly proud of our Library with its Special Collections of international importance which have been built up over the past century. I am delighted that this grant will allow us to bring these ‘treasures’ to a much wider audience. We look forward to working with our partners in Leeds and in West Yorkshire to ensure that we make the most of this investment which is of real national and international significance.”
