英国公司Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners被任命为伦敦英国图书馆设计一个新的研究中心。

9290平方米的扩建项目将占用I级图书馆大楼以北11,000平方米的场地，（译者注：I级图书馆是指英国前2.5%的历史相关建筑） 原是Colin St John Wilson在六、七十年代在斯米斯火车站旁设计的图书馆。

该研究中心将提供额外的学习和展览空间，新的北入口将通往艾伦图灵研究所总部，国家数据科学研究中心。

RSHP 的项目人Graham Stirk指导该项目，他说目的是给图书馆“一个更开放和更方便的校园, 保持其未来的地位”。

他说：“在图书馆的令人兴奋的和不断发展的国际知识中心的位置，我们期待着作为一个更广的团队来支持和加强它。 ”

British firm Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners has been appointed to design a new research centre for the British Library in London.
The 9,290-square-metre extension will occupy a 11,000-square-metre site to the north of the Grade I-listed library building, which was designed by Colin St John Wilson in the 1960s and stands beside St Pancras train station.
The research centre will provide extra learning and exhibition spaces, as well as creating a new northern entrance to the library and a headquarters for the Alan Turing Institute, the national centre for data science research.
RSHP partner Graham Stirk, who is leading the project, said the aim was to give the library "a more open and accessible campus that will maintain its prominence for the future".
"We look forward to working as part of a wider team to support and enhance the library's position within this exciting and evolving international centre of knowledge in the heart of London," he said.

RSHP 正在与Stanhope合作英国图书馆扩建项目，后者也是赫尔佐格德梅隆的泰特现代交换机房的开发商。

英国图书馆的首席执行官Roly Keating说：“我们很高兴能与这样高水准的公司合作让英国图书馆伦敦校区的想法成为一个真正开放的、鼓励创造性的知识中心。”

Colin St John Wilson的I级建筑是上个世纪伟大的公共项目之一，新方案有助于保持和尊重其特征。

该扩建还将为附近的“知识殿堂”——在国王十字和圣斯克所的地区的文化学院，包括威康信托基金和弗朗西斯-克里克学院提供商业办公场地。  

总部设在伦敦的RHSP 和公司的创始人理查德罗杰斯在去年的 Dezeen 热门排行榜上排名56。

该公司此前曾为伦敦另一家大型文化学院设计扩建，2014年在大英博物馆完成了一座百万侧翼建筑。

RSHP is working with Stanhope – the same property developer behind Herzog & de Meuron's Tate Modern Switch House extension – on the British Library project.
"We are delighted to have secured such high-caliber partners to help realise our vision of the British Library's London campus as a truly open, creative centre for knowledge," said the British Library's chief executive Roly Keating.
"Colin St John Wilson's Grade I-listed building was one of the great public projects of the last century, and this new partnership will help us to preserve and respect its unique character."
The extension will also provide commercial office space within the Knowledge Quarter – an area around King's Cross and St Pancras stations that is occupied by cultural institutes including the Wellcome Trust and Francis Crick Institute.
London-based RHSP and the firm's founder Richard Rogers ranked at number 56 on the Dezeen Hot List, a guide to the most read-about players in the architecture and design industry over the last year.
The firm previously has designed an extension for another major cultural institute in London, having completing a ￡135 million wing at the British Museum in 2014.
