The project consists of 8,812m2 of new build area, representing a 91% increase in area. The building is arranged over six floors including an excavated lower ground floor level. The spaces created are of high quality and serviced to meet modern museum standards. Underfloor heating was used to heat part of the refurbishment in the form of an ‘in-screed’ cliprail system. The even and gentle form of temperature control that underfloor heating provides made it a natural choice of heating.
The building comprises 37 new gallery spaces for the permanent collection in addition to special exhibitions, a two-storey education centre with designated entrance, office space for the curatorial and
administration departments, study collection spaces for the public to view objects by appointment, a new loading bay and transit store for the secure and dry transportation of artifacts and exhibitions, conservation studios and ancillary facilities.
