A Northern Ireland construction company has completed the largest refurbishment of London’s National Portrait Gallery in the building’s 127-year history.
Gilbert-Ash was the main contractor on the Inspiring People project which saw redevelopment of the building to include public spaces and a new learning centre, as well as a “re-presentation of the Collection”.
The firm oversaw the transformation of the Grade I listed Blavatnik and Weston Wings of the Gallery, which are part of the original building. Works are also underway to create the new Ross Place entrance and forecourt on the North Façade, designed to provide a high-quality space for both the public and Gallery visitors.
