WORK is about to start on the extension to the Cooper Gallery.
The Heritage Lottery Fund gave £638,000 towards the project which will see the transformation of the building by creating new gallery spaces, complete reorientation of the existing gallery and an extension and a new entrance from the busy Eastgate side of the building.
Leeds-based architects GHM designed the extension to the building at the rear, with a new entrance off Eastgate. It is estimated the building work will take about 30 weeks.
