Royal Academy Schools, The Julia and Hans Rausing Campus
The second phase of the practice’s masterplan for the Royal Academy of Arts (RA) complex is the restoration, reorganisation, and extension of the Royal Academy Schools (RA Schools) – the longest established school of fine art in the UK that was founded in 1769. The RA Schools has been located on the lower ground floor at the northern end of Burlington House, the RA’s historic home, since the 1870s and was hidden from view until the new public route, which bisects their Cast Corridor, was created in 2018 during the first phase of the masterplan. While this move brought the school into a more direct relationship with the public, the new project affirms the RA Schools as an integral and celebrated part of a living institution, ensuring it is fit to serve students for the next 100 years. The project has prioritised the rationalisation of the spaces and maximisation of light while improving access, circulation, services and thermal performance.
