Designed in collaboration with Julian Harrap Architects, the project has introduced modernised facilities while preserving the historic fabric of the buildings. This includes expanded studio spaces, new technical workshops, a library, and a student canteen.

The scheme also involved restoration of historic studios and the installation of around 150 historic casts and artworks in newly curated displays.
