Project: Natural History Museum Control Room

Bolt & Heeks were engaged to reconfigure and refurbish the control room at the Natural History Museum. The works were conducted over two phases in order to allow the museum’s security to function normally – an important consideration in one of London’s busiest museums. Under phase 1, we created an outer security office; phases 2 & 3 saw the creation of two inner security offices.

Even with restricted access and limited space for a compound, we were still able to bring the project to a successful conclusion £24k below budget and one week ahead of programme.
