Royal Academy of Arts, 6 Burlington Gardens Gallery 8 Offices Following the completion of the Offices Refurbishment project we were appointed to carry out a further project to provide new rooftop offices, new environmentally controlled gallery space and new lifts, following a fire which destroyed an existing gallery ceiling and roof. This project involved rebuilding the roof above one of the principal galleries with a new structure, the insertion of two new passenger lifts through 5 storeys of historic structure and the creation of a 2 storey core at roof level linking into different levels of the existing building. The building remained occupied throughout the course of the contract. This project also included refurbishment of other upper floor office spaces and gallery spaces to provide additional workspaces required for decant space needed to enable subsequent phases of the RA’s development masterplan.
