Sitting on the site of the former M&B Springfield Brewery, the building was designed to set a benchmark in quality for subsequent buildings on the Springfield site, retaining some of the its historic buildings while adding contemporary yet complimentary new build spaces to deliver a cutting-edge facility. The design provides a robust, flexible layout that offers scope for adaptation depending on the changing needs of the University. The new-build elements are designed to complement the existing retained building, echoing historic building lines and scale which were sensitively restored. Winner of three RIBA Awards. Shortlisted for RIBA National Reinvention Award.
