On a tight urban site in East London, adjacent to a major traffic interchange, and requiring road closures and major drainage diversions, University Square Stratford was a particularly challenging project. AWW was appointed by Volker Fitzpatrick to complete the detailed design and work with them to deliver this £18m multifunction new-build HE project for the Univeristy of East London and Birbeck College.The scheme provides specialist performing arts studios, masic practice rooms, and lecture theatres, as well as a range of general purpose teaching and learning facitlities.
