SCIENCE GALLERY
LONDON
LTS ARCHITECTS
A significant new addition to the cultural landscape of the UK’
s capital; Science Gallery London is an extraordinary project that
fuses the innovative programme of Science Gallery International
with the research strengths of King’ s College London. LTS
Architects was appointed by the client, King’s College London to
design the new Gallery and unlock the full potential of the
site. Housed within the Grade II* listed Boland House, part of
the original Guy’s Hospital, opposite London Bridge Station, the
Gallery will engage visitors with a programme blending science,
art, and technology.
The building has an inward-looking Georgian façade, but the
brief demanded permeability and openness to draw in foot
traffic from the neighboring station. The client required a flexible,
adaptable space, clear navigation of the entrance and ease of
access for temporary exhibitions.
