LEVEL 1  Ticketing, orientation and the cloakroom are located here. We are developing two performance spaces in the disused oil tanks - one is a flexible rectangular box to show a wide range of performance art, installations, broadcasts, concerts and new media. The 2nd will draw upon the unique qualities of the oil tanks and doubles up as a foyer area. The art space has been created out of the foundations of the existing switch house.



LEVEL 2  Visitors will approach the newly created south entrance through Tate Square, past the Tate Shop and Tate Café. There will be a meeting room, bookable by community groups, and a new art space for themed shows from the Tate collection.



LEVEL 3  A temporary exhibition space will accommodate large exhibitions or can be subdivided to take smaller ones. There is also an adjacent shop, staff offices and staff meeting place.



LEVEL 4  will accommodate four new galleries for the Tate collection. Flexible floor heights will adapt to suit works of differing scales. The areas between the boxes will be used to show contextual work and interpretative material. There are also offices and a terrace overlooking the Turbine Hall.



LEVEL 5  A bridge connects the original and new buildings. Tate Exchange provides spaces for groups to exchange skills, expertise and ideas. Young Tate will be based here and there will be studio spaces to display work originating from the various community programmes. These galleries can also be used to try out new ways of curating exhibitions.



LEVEL 6  Tower Gallery will be used for cutting edge contemporary art, with a particular focus on innovation.
