The Stage has written a piece about our newly completed building for the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. The article talks of the challenges of the site, the significantly improved facilities and the enthusiastic response from staff, students and alumni.
To celebrate the completion of this significant project, our office will be going to see Lamda’s production of Cyrano in the new Sainsbury Theatre in July.

Below are some from the Natural History Museum site showing the scaffold ‘tunnel’ going up at the Museum. This is the framework required to lift, manipulate, and move the blue whale skull into position in a few weeks.
Though the main hall has had a sperm whale in it before, this was only around 15m long. In contrast, the blue whale, the largest known animal to have ever existed, is about 30m long once assembled.
Unfortunately, due to the various extensions and alterations to the Museum over time, the skull can only come in via the front doors. And – much like a very large, very heavy, very valuable sofa – it’s a case of squeezing it in at strange angles.
