Completed in summer 2001, this extensive
redevelopment of the Royal Horticultural Society's building in Vincent
Square provides a new home for the Lindley Library, RHS headquarters offices
and an entirely remodelled conference hall facility. Listed and dating
back to the 1900's, the existing building has been extended into hitherto
unexploited basement areas and comprehensively refurbished to house the
Society's growth over the next 25 years. A key step is the relocation
of the world renowned Lindley Library into environmentally controlled
space. Upper reading rooms look out over Vincent Square whilst basement
conservation areas are toplit with views to the surrounding trees. New
simplified and distinct entrances are provided to both the Society's new
headquarters and the new conference facilities.
