Lincoln’s Inn Great Hall and Library

GEA completed an investigation for the extension of the existing basement space beneath The Great Hall and adjoining library through the construction of two new basement structures.

We provided a comprehensive site investigation to provide the client and engineers with the information they required with respect to the proposed development, along with a Basement Impact Assessment for submission to the London Borough of Camden in support of the planning application. This was subsequently followed by a detailed ground movement and building damage assessment and geotechnical consultancy services to assist with the finalisation of the sub-structure design.

The new extension to the north of the existing library provides office and library storage facilities; complementary in scale and materials to its context, the new building provides an important addition to the Inn’s estate. The project was awarded the AJ Retrofit Award 2021.
