The National Gallery - One Gallery Accommodation Hub

The National Gallery sought to enhance its internal operations by creating a centralised accommodation hub within its historic premises. The objective was to consolidate staff offices and facilities, improving collaboration and efficiency. This initiative required integrating modern office spaces into the Grade I Listed building without compromising its architectural integrity. The project presented challenges in balancing contemporary functional needs with the preservation of the gallery's historic fabric, all while ensuring minimal disruption to its daily operations and visitors.

G&T provided Project Management services, overseeing the planning and execution of the accommodation hub. Collaborating closely with the National Gallery's internal teams, conservation specialists, and design consultants, we facilitated the development of a scheme that sensitively integrated modern office facilities within the historic structure. Our role encompassed coordinating stakeholder engagement, managing the design process to ensure compliance with heritage considerations, and overseeing construction activities to minimise impact on the gallery's operations and visitor experience.

The successful completion of the One Gallery Accommodation Hub provided the National Gallery with a centralised, modern workspace that enhances staff collaboration and operational efficiency. The project achieved a harmonious blend of contemporary office functionality and historic preservation, respecting the building's Grade I Listed status. G&T's effective project management ensured the delivery of a high-quality facility that meets the gallery's operational needs while maintaining the integrity and public appreciation of its historic environment.
