We are delighted to have been selected alongside ADP Architecture and LDA Design to design this special project for the University of York.

The brief asked for a welcoming front door for the University, a new space at the heart of the action, a new Student Centre at the crossroads of connection between city and campus. It will be a singular structure, a flexible plan with interconnecting multifunctional spaces, a south-facing winter garden and a walled orchard garden on the roof. The architectural form, employing modern methods of construction and principles of environmental responsibility, responds to the material characteristics of the place.

Other shortlisted architects in the international competition included Herzog & de Meuron, Hawkins Brown, Adjaye Associates and Dorte Mandrup.
