Central Hall scheme part of £50m Wilkinson Eyre masterplan

The National Railway Museum and Malcolm Reading Consultants have launched a competition searching for architects to design the museum’s new central hall.

The museum, owned by the Science Museum Group, is part of York Central, one of the largest city centre brownfield regeneration projects in Europe.

York Central will re-route a major road that currently bisects the museum’s site, separating two of its main galleries, the Great Hall (pictured) and Station Hall.
