Priceless artwork held in the site’s Courtauld Gallery, including works by Van Gogh, Monet and Cezanne, was “unaffected” by the blaze and it is due to reopen to the public on Sunday.
Mr Reekie added most of the venue’s facilities and events would resume as normal within “a few more days” but reconstruction would take much longer.
“We focused on how to get the building back on its feet, how to get people back into the building,” he said.
“I think in terms of the majority of what we do, we’re talking about a few more days.
“Of course the reconstruction will be months, if not years.”
The building is used as an arts and events venue and is also home to a number of artists, makers and creative businesses who use the complex’s workspaces and studios.
