🚧 A historic return: Sir Robert McAlpine at Smithfield 🏛️ Don’t miss this Construction News article detailing how, six decades after building Smithfield Poultry Market, Sir Robert McAlpine is back to transform this site, alongside the adjacent 19th century General Market building, into the new home for London Museum. 🗝️ Key Highlights ✔️ Legacy Meets Innovation: Originally rebuilt by Sir Robert McAlpine after a fire in 1958, the Poultry Market featured Europe’s largest concrete dome and earned a Grade II listing. Now, it’s being reimagined as part of the London Museum project. ✔️ Complex Construction Environment: The transformation is happening in a live market setting, with traders operating overnight and construction teams working around the clock. ✔️ Inside-Out Build Strategy: With limited external space, all work is being done within the building footprints—requiring meticulous planning and logistics.

Wow, the inside-out build strategy is fascinating...working within the building footprint must be a logistical puzzle! I'd love to see how the team tackled this in such a busy market setting.
