Gilbert Ash To Renovate The Bartlett School Of Architecture

Construction firm Gilbert-Ash is to carry out £20m refurbishment work on the Bartlett School of Architecture at University College London.

"It is a great follow-on project from the Everyman Theatre which won the 2014 Stirling Prize and we are looking forward to working closely with the client and the architects in the coming months."

The Bartlett refurbishment will include demolishing one floor of the building and adding another two, to give eight storeys in total. The entire floor-plate of the existing building will also be increased. The building façade will be stripped back and a full new façade will be created using hand-cut brick.

The project is due to be completed in August 2016.
