‘Once-in-a-generation transformation’ of Grade-I building will bring teaching spaces under same roof as gallery
The Courtauld has unveiled an £82m campus redevelopment it is calling a “once-in-a-generation transformation” of its Grade-I listed building at Somerset House in London.
The Stirling prize-winning architects Witherford Watson Mann will take charge of the project at the teaching and research centre and public gallery, which follows their 2021 revamp of the Courtauld Gallery space, and is expected to take four years to complete. The Courtauld Institute of Art is an independent college of the University of London, founded in the 1930s, focusing on the teaching and research of art history.
