Sheppard Robson’s competition-winning design responds to the University’s vision of creating a world-class research and teaching facility which will attract international students and academics, and provide future state-of-the-art accommodation to support the projected growth of the department.
The School is arranged over two parallel four- to six-storey wings, with two contiguous basement levels. Research lab facilities are stacked as a singular element, whilst write-up spaces, seminar rooms, offices and general administration spaces are accessed by bridge links across a colourful, active atrium space.
