The gallery space will be c. 720sqm for temporary exhibitions with robust environmental controls, supported by a front-of-house reception facility and retail space. The scheme includes modifications to hard landscaping on the external approach to improve accessibility and address level differences on the route into the new space for visitors and museum objects.
