Dundee V&A Plans Go On Display

Construction News Image
The latest plans for the new V&A museum and gallery at Dundee will go on display this week.

Detailed proposals for the project will be on show at the Bernard King Library, University of Abertay, on January 17, 18 and 19, from 10:00 to 16:00 every day.

The public will be able to view the plans, which include a digital 'flythrough' and visuals.

Visitors are being encouraged to share their views with staff across the three days.

"I am very excited about the latest plans for the project and I look forward to sharing these with the public," said Philip Long, Director of V&A at Dundee.

"In tandem with developing the designs for the building, we are continuing to make very good progress on the content and programme for the wider project, which will have an impact right across Scotland and beyond. The consultation provides a great opportunity to share these plans with the public too."

A new Planning Application Notice for the project has been lodged with Dundee City Council.

Full revised planning application will be lodged later, and will include the recent decision to move the building further on to the shore.

Kengo Kuma said the move will create an even greater connection between the project and the surrounding environment, including the RRS Discovery, the new railway station and the city centre.

The V&A will have over 1,500 square metres of gallery space and one of the largest dedicated museum-standard exhibition spaces in Scotland.

Work is expected to start this year, with an anticipated opening scheduled for 2015.

Lead architect Kengo Kuma has described the new development as "a living room in the city".
