How the Sainsbury Centre will benefit
* The entrance to the Main Gallery will have a canopy and new doors will
be installed, improving access to the building. A visitor car park will
also be created.
* Where the visitor enters the main building, there will be a wide 'bridge',
over an atrium that extends down to basement level. Light wells, a lift
and a spiral staircase will lead down to the new basement lobby and corridor.
* The spiral staircase will be extended to connect the current internal
high level bridge, the ground floor and the basement corridor.
* New 'state of the art loos', cloak room and locker facilities will be
accessible from the reception area.
* As the visitor walks past the light wells on the ground floor, they
will find a new reception desk, new Gallery Shop units, and the entrances
into the Permanent Collection and the Special Exhibition galleries. The
shop space will be extended in the atrium at basement level, please see
below.
* Continuing past the ground floor Gallery Shop, the Gallery Café
will be refurbished, replacing the Café furniture and refitting
the kitchen.
* At the bottom of the atrium a second reception area and extended Gallery
Shop will be created. In this space, the visitor will be able to look
along a wide corridor, flooded by daylight both from above and from the
far end where it links with the Crescent Wing reception area.
* A wall of glass along the corridor will screen the new education space
with workshop and IT facilities.
* Bays along the corridor will provide extra display space.
* All the flooring, lighting and the heating system in the main building
will be renewed.
* Signage will be reviewed, both inside and outside the Gallery.
