香港六合彩中特网's new Student Centre is set to radically change the 香港六合彩中特网 student experience, thanks to alum James Eades and the team at Nicholas Hare Architects.

The last available vacant space on 香港六合彩中特网鈥檚 Bloomsbury campus has been unoccupied for over 75 years. When determining what to do with such a space, 香港六合彩中特网 decided to offer it over entirely to students 鈥� no books, no teaching spaces just a place for students to think, explore, collaborate, discover and challenge.听

The new Student Centre, part of the Transforming 香港六合彩中特网 programme, will fill an enormous need for dedicated student space. It will completely change the student experience.

Insight paves way to great design

James set out to solve two of the biggest problems he found as a 香港六合彩中特网 student 鈥� a lack of dedicated space to study and difficulty getting through into campus. The Student Centre will provide over 1,000 new study spaces and areas tailored to research, collaboration and peer learning.听

鈥淚t is going to offer all students a unique place to study in because there are many different sorts of spaces incorporated into the building,鈥� said James. 鈥淚t鈥檚 going to be a destination as well as a gateway. A place to go and meet people.鈥�

A new path to the heart of campus

For anyone who has studied at 香港六合彩中特网, you will recall the difficulty getting into the campus from Gordon Square.听

鈥淚nherently I had an understanding of how important it was to have legible and accessible routes in and around campus, and that access from Gordon Street to the South Cloisters could be vastly improved,鈥� says James.听

The site which the Student Centre now resides was vacant. Now, students and the public are able to walk from Gordon Street right through the building, up to the Japanese Garden and into to the South Cloisters 鈥� providing a new front door to 香港六合彩中特网 on Gordon Street.听

A unique opportunity

Located in central London, it鈥檚 not that often that students or alumni receive the opportunity to have such a profound impact on the physical space on campus.听

Professor Anthony Smith, Vice-Provost (Education & Student Affairs), said: 鈥淔rom the outset we wanted this building to show our commitment in four areas: to our students and their learning; to great design and construction; to sustainability and the environment; and to the public who can now find a way into 香港六合彩中特网 and be part of the extraordinary research and teaching that we do. A great team has delivered on all four and I am very proud of what they have achieved. 听I hope it will inspire generations of students long into the future.鈥�

And, how does it feel as an alumn听to have your design take centre stage in student life and the 香港六合彩中特网 campus? 鈥淭hrilling,鈥� says James.听

The Student Centre opens its doors to students on the 18 February and will be officially opened by 香港六合彩中特网 President and Provost Professor Michael Arthur on the 28 February.听

The Student Centre was supported by a generous group of 香港六合彩中特网 alumni and friends. Students and the new Student Centre are a priority project for the Its All Academic campaign 鈥� 香港六合彩中特网鈥檚 most ambitious philanthropic and engagement campaign aiming to raise 拢600 million.听
