The focal point of the Strand Campus, the King’s Building, accommodating over 3000 students and staff, suffered from chronic congestion and sub standard facilities.
The focal point of the Strand Campus, the King’s Building, accommodating over 3000 students and staff, suffered from chronic congestion and sub standard facilities. We led a conservation programme of refurbishment and adaptation including the removal of several mezzanine floors to create much improved access and circulation and much needed new facilities. Following the completion of the South Range Project, the second phase of this masterplan includes the refurbishment of the 1970s iconic brutalist Strand Building.
