The City of London Corporation has given the green light to a substantial £231 million renewal plan for the iconic Barbican Centre, aiming to modernise the multi-arts venue and significantly enhance its accessibility.
The ambitious Barbican Renewal Programme will tackle long-standing maintenance issues and introduce crucial upgrades. Among these are a new lift and staircase within the conservatory, which will finally provide public access to its elevated balconies, alongside a new climate-controlled environment to safeguard its plant collection.
