National Art Library Offices

Case Studies / National Art Library Offices

As part of the ambitious FuturePlan works at the V&A, the creation of additional galleries and visitor facilities presented an opportunity to create a new space for the museum’s National Art Library offices.

Our Role

We undertook a detailed initial survey of the proposed new location to ensure the development of solution that required minimal intervention whilst meeting strict budgetary criteria. The space had previously been used for storage but we identified a number of existing services that could be retained and integrated into the final design.

The Outcome

Working closely with the V&A Estates Team we supplemented these services with additional lighting, data, power, and ventilation to create a fresh new office space. Our designs were undertaken with a light touch, ensuring the historic architectural features within this Grade I building were not compromised. Throughout the project period we provided site monitoring of the mechanical and electrical services installations.

This project is one of a number of schemes we are undertaking within a wider framework for the V&A.
