Kingston University, in tandem with Grafton Architects, has revealed updated architectural designs for a state-of-the-art building, incorporating sustainable materials and improved community facilities. Following public consultations, the new designs present a color palette that harmonizes with the local environment and an optimized internal layout. Emphasizing sustainability, the building will utilize a wooden structure and clay tile cladding. Publicly accessible spaces, including café and exhibition areas, aim to foster campus identity while enriching local green spaces, reflecting the university's creative spirit and its commitment to environmental respect and community engagement.
The new building will feature an updated colour palette, sustainable materials, and public spaces, enhancing the campus identity and serving both students and the community.
The building's wooden structure reinforces the university's commitment to sustainability, while public facilities like exhibition spaces and a café aim to enhance campus life.
Grafton Architects' design respects local ecosystems, creating a gentle transition between river and land, emphasizing Kingston University's unique location and fostering an environment for study.
Shelley McNamara states, "We know of no other university building which is so proximate to such a unique confluence of natural riches and possessing this 'otherworldly' atmosphere."
