The Chelsea ground floor is to be remodeled to increase visitor capacity, and more provocatively display practical teaching spaces and student work with enhanced large format AV and open circulation. 2.

Refit of the rest of the Chelsea building to increase the teaching capacity and relocate staff on upper floors. Mechanical ventilation is required in multiple areas which currently overheat. A full planning application will be required for additional plant to be installed on the 3rd floor roof. The target construction programme runs from 27/07/23 to 22/12/23 phased across 3 sections in live buildings.
