Information

Mace has been appointed by University College London to project manage the new UCL Institute for Cultural Heritage. The new building will be a home for the university's most important heritage collections, including The Petrie Collection of Eygptian artefacts, rare books and manuscripts and art collections.

The building will become the eastern gateway to the Gower Street campus and is the most prestigious development undertaken by UCL in recent years. Mace Group has applied its value management techniques to the project, stress-testing it for commercial value, providing vital critical design reviews to ensure UCL realises all the museum's long term goals.

Key features:

  • Strategic programming; leading the project team and reporting to the UCL steering group
  • Major engineering site enabling works
  • High profile consultant team
  • Heritage Lottery and Higher Education Council funded
