Malishev Engineers were responsible for the design of the structural glass of two glass lift shafts, working with CMF, specialist aluminum manufacturer, and Fusion glass, one within the main lobby of the building and one externally at the rear of the theatre providing disabled access. They are both scenic lift shafts comprised of specially designed bespoke aluminium extruded sections and structurally bonded glass. There is also a patterned glass enclosure to the lift motor room on the roof. In addition to all this the lift also sings, thanks to Turner Prize winner artist Martin Creed. (singing lift)
