The V&A is developing a major presence over two sites in Stratford's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London as part of a Cultural and Educational District, at the heart of the largest urban regeneration project in Europe.

The development will dramatically increase access to the V&A's world-class collections, allow the museum to reach new audiences through an expanded programme of exhibitions, activities and events, and is driven by a desire to inspire and empower the next generation in their creative and cultural lives.

The V&A East Project team is responsible for the briefing, procurement, design and delivery of the V&A East Museum on Stratford Waterfront and the V&A East Storehouse at Here East.

Each member of the team will undertake cross-museum consultation to deliver a building that meets the V&A's requirements, leading working groups and taking part in steering group and committee meetings.

The Project Team work in a collaborative, agile, matrix style, and specific workstreams will be allocated to members of the team to deliver based on the needs of the project.

The V&A is the world's leading museum of art and design, housing a permanent collection of over 2.8 million objects, books and archives that span over 5,000 years of human creativity.

The museum holds many of the UK's national collections and houses some of the greatest resources for the study of architecture, furniture, fashion, têxtiles, photography, sculpture, painting, jewellery, glass, ceramics, book arts, Asian art and design, theatre and performance.


Our mission is to be recognised as the world's leading museum of art, design and performance, and to enrich people's lives by promoting research, knowledge and enjoyment of the designed world to the widest possible audience.

We strive to make the V&A matter to more people and in that context we work to the following six strategic objectives:


  • To create a world class visitor and learning experience across all V&A sites and collections.
  • Focus and deepen the relevance of our collections to the UK creative and knowledge economy.
  • Expand the V&A's international reach, reputation and impact.
  • To operate with financial and organisational initiative and efficiency.
  • Showcase the best of digital design and deliver an outstanding digital experience.
  • Diversify and increase private and commercial funding sources.
