The white elements provide shade and prevent excessive heat gains whilst the lecture theatre pod's smooth design serves as dynamic contrast to the bold vertical lines of the exterior.
Our vision is of a heart within a ribcage, expressed as an ovoid lecture theatre pod encased within an array of structural glulam.
Teaching staff and students are brought together through a 'connection' co-working space, found immediately outside the lecture theatre pod.
The designs also include for offices, flexible teaching rooms, informal meeting spaces, and a cafe close to the reception area.
