Warburg Institute, University of London London

PROJECT REFURBISHMENT AND EXTENSION

CLIENT

UNIVERSITY OF LONDON

The Warburg Institute is a renowned library, teaching and research institution that forms part of the University of London. The building was designed by Charles Holden in 1957 and has been left largely untouched since then. The core project scope comprises essential repair works to the services, façade and roof, expansion and rearrangement of the library collection, expansion of the lecture theatre and the creation of a special collections archive suite. The Warburg are keen to go beyond simple refurbishment and see the project as an opportunity to open the Institution up to the public. They hope to raise additional funds to build a new extension in the courtyard and, if possible, relocate the main entrance to the main street facing façade, to give the building more presence within the public realm and local academic community.
