Spiral Staircase fitted in St Andrew’s

The Spiral Staircase that leads from South Aisle reading room to the mezzanine above is one of the iconic features of the new design for the St Andrew’s building. This elegant design feature is now in place and its arrival really helps us to understand how the space in the South Aisle will be used.
