The French Institute, located in south Kensington, London is the focal point for the French Nationals living and working in the UK. There are numerous facilities including a school and a children’s library.

 

The existing children’s library was considered too small and did not meet the needs of the users. The library was shut over the summer holidays and refurbished into a modern facility providing a multi-functional, multi-media facility.

 

The basement of the building was a book storage room, no longer in use so the children’s library was expanded to double the original size. A new platform lift and toilet facilities were added and new air conditioning and lighting installed. PinnacleESP worked closely with the main contractor and architects to achieve the clients requirements within a tight programme and to the fixed budget.
