The British Library has announced a £1.1bn development of the Library’s St Pancras site.
Funded by Japanese real estate developer Mitsui Fudosan’s subsidiary SMBL, the development will see the addition of new exhibition galleries, event spaces and new learning, business and innovation facilities.
The new exhibition galleries will double the size of the Library’s existing gallery space, which it said will enable “greater interaction with the national collection”.
Approximately 100,000 sq ft (9,290 sq m) of new public space is to be added. It will consist of expanded spaces for the Library’s business support services, a learning centre, a multi-use foyer space, and new entrances.
