British Museum architectural roof joining the two buildings together. The Queen Elizabeth II Great Court, designed by architect Lord Foster of Thames Bank, was opened by Her Majesty the Queen on 6 December 2000. Following the departure to St Pancras of the Museum's library departments in 1998, now the British Library, the bookstacks surrounding Sydney Smirke's round Reading Room were dismantled and a new floor constructed across the courtyard. This was then roofed over to provide the largest covered square in Europe. The Reading Room was restored to its 1857 decorative scheme and new facilities (Clore Education Centre, Sainsbury African Galleries, Ford Young Visitors Centre, BP and Stevenson Lecture Theatres) constructed below. The scheme also created new access to other galleries.

This is the first floor of Biomed past the InfoStations as it appeared in 1999. On the left are the bookstacks, and on the right are current journals. When I started we had around 3000 active print journals. Today we're at around 600 in print and decreasing all the time - that's how much has gone online now. Around the perimeter were individual study carrels and in the middle were a few tables. We didn't have much study space at all.
