Set on the famous "Backs" at Cambridge and containing a valuable book collection, the Wren Library had become much in need of repair and refurbishment.
Following a survey of condition (later extended to other adjoining historic College properties) a comprehensive repair programme was put in hand. This included work to the roofs and stonework, floor structure and windows, and a complete redecoration of the interiors, which are now restored to look as Wren intended.
To avoid damage to the valuable contents, the work was carried out in two stages and with minimum disturbance to College life.
