{10-11} Carlton House Terrace, the home of The British Academy for humanities and social sciences, is accepting reservations from April 2024 for its new event spaces, which are part of a £9.6 million ($12 million) refurbishment. Conference and event planners interested in using these creative new spaces can work with the venue’s team, reserve space and confirm activity for events taking place from 2024.
The refurbishment is transforming previously hidden or underused spaces into three, double-height event spaces offering the latest in event technology and audio-visual equipment. The new spaces can host up to 125 guests. The significant investment in technology will support {10-11} Carlton House Terrace’s ability to deliver a range of events across in-person, hybrid and digital platforms. The spaces will be ideal for domestic and international conferences, meetings, lectures, workshops, festivals, performances, discussions, networking and dining events for clients from the corporate, association and not-for-profit sectors.
The creative design by Wright & Wright Architects is producing contemporary spaces that complement the Grade I listed building. The refurbishment includes the installation of double glazing, making {10-11} Carlton House Terrace the first Grade I listed property in Westminster to have this feature, which allows for better climate control. The entire heating system will also be carbon-free, through the use of air source heat pumps.
Catherine Owen, head of venue sales and marketing at {10-11} Carlton House Terrace, said: “The venue’s transformation will create flexible rooms for new ways of meeting and sharing in digital, hybrid and in-person formats. These tech-enabled spaces will fit sympathetically alongside our stunning Georgian architecture, and we are excited to be able to offer both the old and the new to suit our clients. In addition, the low-energy sustainable building solutions are an innovative approach that exemplifies how to build the new into the old in a sustainable way. The project is reducing our carbon footprint and uses environmentally conscious designs that will last well into the future. We couldn’t be more excited for these spaces to transform our offer and to start welcoming guests in the New Year.”
The project is the largest transformation the building has undergone since it opened over 120 years ago. For bookings, visit www.10-11cht.com.
