Two large disused exhibition halls in the Barbican Arts Centre, approximately 9,500 square metres in size, may reopen as part of the Barbican Renewal project. These spaces, closed since 2010 due to noise problems affecting nearby residences, include one hall that has been partially repurposed. The Barbican Centre is soliciting proposals from various sectors to redevelop these areas, with particular interest in creative and collaborative uses. Redevelopment is anticipated to begin around 2028, nearly three decades after closure, providing an opportunity to revitalize the cultural landscape in central London.
The Barbican has two empty exhibition halls, which cover approximately 9,500 square metres of unused space across two levels, closed since 2010 due to noise issues.
The Barbican Centre is now seeking expressions of interest from organisations across the creative, commercial, and civic sectors to bring these spaces back into public use.
Proposals that incorporate 'meanwhile' use, long-term models, or partnership opportunities are also open to be considered for the redevelopment.
Philippa Simpson emphasizes the opportunity to shape the creative future of the Capital and the importance of dialogue with neighboring sites to attract new audiences.
