What the notice says

Not fully read: this is the notice text; attached documents are not read.

The Natural History Museum has launched NHM150, an ambitious transformation programme leading up to its 150th anniversary in 2031. The programme will significantly enhance the Museum’s public offer, increasing access, reach and impact through a major renewal of galleries and visitor experiences.

The Natural History Museum is seeking to appoint a Visitor Flow and Circulation Consultant to support the delivery of Phase 2 of the NHM150 Programme. The appointment will span both the base build projects and the associated gallery fit out projects and the consultant will form part of the wider multidisciplinary design teams.

The consultant will provide strategic and technical advice relating to visitor flow, horizontal and vertical circulation, capacity, orientation, and visitor movement throughout the refurbished Western Galleries and Oceans Hall. The consultant shall support the development of an integrated visitor circulation strategy which considers individual galleries and spaces, the Western Galleries and Oceans Hall as a whole, and within the context of the wider museum.

The appointment will cover RIBA Stages 2-4 of the Western Galleries Base Build, Oceans Gallery Base Build, Dinosaurs 28 (Swing Space) Exhibition Fit Out and Lives of Dinosaurs (Dinosaurs 30) Exhibition Fit Out projects. They will be required to work as a fully integrated member of the project design teams, providing specialist expertise, analysis and design support to ensure the delivery of a coherent, accessible and enjoyable visitor experience across the Phase 2 galleries.

The consultant shall also provide advice and recommendations in response to queries by the Lead Designer(s) and NHM Core Team, for the Old General Herbarium & Botany Library Exhibition Fit Out, Life on Earth (Origins) Exhibition Fit Out and Oceans Gallery Exhibition Fit Out projects.
