The project: Mace has been selected as construction manager on the £1.1 billion new development of the British Library’s St Pancras site.
Mace will join the project under the direction of development manager Stanhope Plc and will contribute construction expertise for the procurement and delivery phase of the development.
The proposals include a 100,000 sq. ft (9,290 sq. m) extension to the British Library comprising new spaces to enhance the Library’s public service offer, provide more than 600,000 sq. ft (55,742 sq. m) of commercial facilities and integrate Crossrail 2 infrastructure. The project includes exhibition galleries, events spaces and learning facilities. Located at the heart of London’s Knowledge Quarter, the development will incorporate circulation areas to connect it with the existing Library building and provide easy access from all directions through the enhanced facility. It will also include provision to extend the Library’s business offer, with maker spaces to create and pilot products. The Library is launching a major fundraising campaign to bring these areas to life.
