This weekend marks the public opening of the Royal Academy of Arts' newly transformed campus. As part of the masterplan, for which the practice was appointed in 2008, a new route has been created through the RA's historic home of Burlington House to 6 Burlington Gardens with its new gallery spaces and a reinstated lecture theatre. This connection significantly expands both the institution’s public space and programme, as well as revealing the RA Schools and creating a designated gallery for its historic collection for the first time. The completion coincides with the RA's 250th anniversary.
