SOAS Library

Vista is delivering Principal Designer Services for Phase 2 of the SOAS Library Masterplan, focusing on a comprehensive internal reconfiguration and upgrade of this iconic Grade II listed building.

The project involves careful construction work to modernise the interior spaces, improve functionality, and enhance sustainability, all while preserving the historic character of Denys Lasdun’s renowned architecture. Key construction elements include structural modifications to reconfigure the layout, careful integration of new facilities, and the refurbishment of the signature triple-height reading room, ensuring a seamless blend of heritage and modern usability for students, staff, and visitors.
