The project includes exhibition galleries, events spaces and learning facilities.\u00a0 Located at the heart of London\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
