Notice Information
Notice Title
Western Range Registered Building Control Approver
Notice Description
The British Museum wishes to appoint a Registered Building Control Approver to provide Building Control advice throughout the re-development of the Western Range and associated enabling works projects. The Western Range is a substantial part of the estate that is in urgent need of both repair and re-imagining. The re-development offers the Museum an opportunity to make a statement of its future intent, through reimagined galleries, new state-of-the-art storage facilities and engaging contemporary architecture, in juxtaposition to the highly significant and already celebrated listed buildings on the site. The Western Range comprises around 7,500m2 of gallery space and currently houses the Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece (including the Parthenon Sculptures), Rome, and Ancient Assyria and Middle East collections, along with 4,500m2 of back-of-house collection storage space.
