It’s quite a while since I’ve been round our building project and was pleased to find that it’s making good progress.

The space which will contain the reconstituted British Academy Room has now been constructed out of smoothly polished concrete:-

Best of all was seeing the work being done to the ceiling of the new Lecture Theatre and the restoration of the plasterwork round what will be a day-lit oculus:-
