No funding has been provided by my Department or its sponsored bodies during the period in question. English Heritage has, however, worked closely with all the relevant parties, utilising its constructive conservation principles, to find a new use for the building which will bring it off the ‘at risk’ register and retain it as a public institution. The new Design Museum, which will be the world's leading museum of its kind, is expected to open at the Commonwealth Institute in 2015. It has been designed by John Pawson and construction work began in September 2012.
