來自建築事務所的描述：Lincoln酒店榮譽協會大禮堂和圖書館項目是MICA建築事務所2014年酒店歷史建築的總體規劃。該項目由一系列互不相連的方案構成，這些方法在酒店的關鍵問題解決策略中仍然具有整體性。建築師需要對大禮堂和圖書館進行保護性修復，並且通過挖掘而構成額外的樓層空間，該部分的建造毗鄰用於教育和會議的大禮堂，除此之外，建築師還需要更新現有的低品質空間，對其進行現代化處理和相應的擴建，從而增加額外的圖書館設施面積。大禮堂的修復減少了低品質的空間面積，恢復了許多建築的歷史特徵，其中包括建築的原有入口，有效提升了建築的流線便捷性。
Text description provided by the architects. The Great Hall and Library Project for the Honourable Society of Lincoln’s Inn is the culmination of MICA’s 2014 masterplan for the Inn’s historic estate. The project is comprised of a series of largely discrete proposals that are nevertheless holistic in their resolution of the Inn’s key issues. The project included the sensitive refurbishment of the Grade II* Listed Great Hall & Library and the addition of significant additional floor space through excavation adjacent to the Great Hall (for education and conferencing use) and through the replacement of an existing, lower quality building with a contemporary and complementary extension to the Library’s facilities. Restoration The refurbishment of the Great Hall removes recent poor-quality alterations, restoring many of the building’s heritage features and reinstating the original ceremonial entrance and improving accessibility throughout the building.

翻新之後的建築有效地提升了大禮堂的各項設施，讓活動空間更具活力，大大提升了酒店的商業價值。整體項目引入了地暖、全新的廚房設備、排水防水系統、全新的節能機械系統，讓建築滿足現代化標準。在大廳內部，建築師還設計了結合地暖的木地板，給使用者帶來高效的熱舒適性，同時將原有受損的地板進行了更換，並且修復了房間的木質牆板，這些面板曾經因為散熱器的安裝而損壞。
The refurbished building provides improved banqueting and dining facilities in the Great Hall and rejuvenated events spaces that improve the Inn’s commercial offering. The works bring the building up to modern standards with the introduction of underfloor heating, new production kitchens, drainage and waterproofing, and new energy-efficient mechanical systems. Within the hall, a new timber floor with underfloor heating has been installed to provide more effective thermal comfort for users, while replacing a failing 20th-century flooring and restoring the timber wainscoting that lines the room which had been damaged by the installation of radiators.

全新的教育空間名為Ashworth中心，這使得教育空間位於酒店的核心位置，這裡也成為了酒店的核心功能。新建築給酒店的學生和成員帶來了高品質的教學設施，而這些設施則與大廳的其他核心功能密切相連。建築有著先進的宣傳培訓和研討會設備，另外還有一間158座的報告廳，這些設備位於大禮堂旁側東側露臺的下方。大型屋面燈具和通高空間讓自然光來到建築內部，同時給周圍的建築帶來了主要的視覺聯繫。
Excavation The new education suite (known as the Ashworth Centre) places education at the heart of the Inn, reinforcing it as one of the Inn’s core functions. The new building provides the Inn’s students and members with high-quality teaching facilities that are linked to the other core functions within the Great Hall. The building provides state-of-the-art advocacy training and seminar facilities along with a 158-seat lecture theatre, all located beneath the existing east terrace adjacent to the Great Hall. Large roof lights and double-height spaces bring natural light into the heart of the building whilst providing an important visual connection to the surrounding buildings.

設計方案採用了全新的設施，將大禮堂和圖書館的歷史設施以及酒店整體背景的視覺影響降至最低。現有圖書館的北側的擴建有著現代化辦公和圖書存儲設備，讓建築能夠擁有更加具有儀式感的功能。擴建部分取代了原有的一座建造於上世紀60年代的老建築，新建築的規模和材質與酒店的整體環境都相互呼應。建築的形式十分簡約，但是其所使用的材質都十分高端精緻，這些材料和建築的背景相互協調，並且和現有的建築能夠很好地融合在一起。擴建空間和圖書館相互交織，通過一個玻璃空間聯繫在一起，這個玻璃空間在酒店內部構成了全新的流線區域，同時也和現有的設施構成連接，這些設施分別位於現有的地下和地面樓層。
The design accommodates the new facilities with minimum visual impact on the historic setting of the Great Hall and Library building and on the wider setting of the Inn. Extension The new extension to the north of the existing library provides contemporary office and library storage facilities, allowing the existing listed building to focus on the more ceremonial uses it is best placed to support. The extension replaces a poor quality 1960’s domestic building. Complimentary in scale and materials to its context, the new building provides an important addition to the Inn’s estate. Whilst the building takes a simple form, it is constructed of high quality, finely detailed materials that are sympathetic to the context and blend with the existing Great Hall and Library. It is both interwoven and distinguished from the existing Library via a glazed link which opens up a new circulation route within the Inn and enables connectivity with new facilities from four existing below and above ground levels.
