## Description

The V&A is seeking to procure a creative, analytical architect\(s\) to respond to our challenging brief to create a new Collection and Research Centre at Here East in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London\. Under the umbrella of V&A East, the V&A is creating two ambitious new public sites; one is a dynamic museum at Stratford Waterfront and the other a major centre for collection, research and learning at Here East \(within the former Olympic Broadcasting Centre\), both part of the Cultural and Educational District \(CED\) in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park\. V&A East will be a place for discovery, learning, research, production and display, which will significantly expand the museum's reach and impact\. It will enable open and enhanced access to the V&A's collection, and together with new research, and public programmes, we will shape the designers, makers, thinkers and curators of the future\.
