Description

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 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 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.
