Conservatory infrastructure and repair works

In April 2016 a report was commissioned by Donald Insall Architects to ascertain options for infrastructure and repair works to the 1898 Coombe Cliff Conservatory. The ambition is to improve the infrastructure and environmental conditions within the conservatory to increase the months that it can be hired for events. The package of recommendations being implemented involves the refurbishment of the mechanical and electrical services provided to the conservatory and a number of other aesthetic and functional upgrades. Please refer to the work schedules for a complete scope of works to be included. These works will have an impact on the day to day running of the Horniman and will require effective contractor management to co-ordinate around the museums requirements and the major Anthropology collection re-display project happening in the South Hall (African Worlds Gallery).
