The refurbished Sainsbury Wing, with its bright and open foyer, promises a modern experience for visitors, showcasing over 1000 works in the upgraded space.

The refurbishment project aims to address safety concerns at Broadwater Farm estate, following a structural survey that revealed risks of collapse in hundreds of homes.

The proposals aim to create new external and internal amenity spaces at fifth and sixth floor roof level, capitalising on the building's position and views of central London.

While some updates have already been made, much of the last few months have been about getting to know the building and preparing for the bigger changes ahead.

Abernethy stresses the importance of collaboration among businesses to create a circular economy, stating that true circularity is hindered by current practices, which complicate effective implementation.
