Bovis Lend Lease has been appointed project manager for the
£50m planned refurbishment of the Royal Festival Hall.
The South Bank Board said the appointment signified progress in its vision of a revitalised South Bank, of which the Royal Festival Hall would be the first phase. If planning permission is granted, work on the hall will be done in three stages.
Stage one will involve refurbishment of the public foyers, ancillary spaces, external envelope and services for £30m.
Stage two will involve the renewal of acoustics and renovation of the auditorium and back stage area.
In stage three, consideration is being given to an extension between the Hungerford Viaduct and an elevated walkway.
The Heritage Lottery Fund has made £0.5m available for the development of the project. A further £12m has also been promised in principle for the refurbishment of the foyers and public spaces of the Festival Hall.
