Building for the future
From 2015 to 2018, we completed a restoration project on the Queen Elizabeth Hall, the Purcell Room and the Hayward Gallery. The project preserved and improved these architectural treasures for our audiences.
It was made possible by a £4.9 million award from the Heritage Lottery Fund and the generosity of our supporters. Our archive studio was at the heart of the project. We created a new approach to collections management, asking visitors to help us develop our archive.
Now, we offer access to our archive materials for whoever wants to view them – or help us to develop our collection.
