A new wing to an existing single storey 1950’s teaching block to provide new business school facilities including lecture theatre, boardroom and associated facilities. The form of the building is conceived of as a series of discreet objects / rooms arranged on a raised plinth. A roof supported by columns oversails the architectural elements below, providing a sheltered edge around the building. The drum form of the boardroom acts as a highly visible focal point at the centre of the college campus. The use of red brick reflects the surrounding red brick buildings on campus with the curtain walling finished in black aluminium. Inside the boardroom and lecture theatre are lined with timber slates providing visual warmth and acoustic control. The Building received an RIBA Regional Award in 2019.
