Loughborough Design School, England : Leicestershire Building

Loughborough Building, central England, UK - design by Burwell Deakins Architects

29 Jun 2012 Loughborough Design School, Loughborough Design: Burwell Deakins Architects RIBA Awards 2012 Citation: Loughborough Design School This is a 7,920 square metre building comprising teaching spaces, research laboratories, workshops, computer suites, offices and cafe, and is located within the existing university campus. It is a deep plan building on a roughly triangular footprint. Environmentally the inclusion of chimneys within the heart of the deep plan has helped the building to achieve a BREEAM Excellent rating. Structurally, the choice of concrete works well, offering both a robust and beautiful quality of finish to the interior spaces. Overall what impresses is the quality of natural daylight, the ease of circulation through the building, the integration of a simple but sophisticated approach to servicing and the overall quality of materials and attention to detail - all on a quite modest budget. photographs : Hufton+Crow Loughborough Design School - RIBA Awards winner, 2012 Loughborough Design School - Building Information Location: Towers Way, Loughborough, Leicestershire Architect: Burwell Deakins Architects Client: Loughborough University Contractor: Shepherd Construction Ltd Structural Engineer: Price & Myers Services Engineer: Hoare Lea Contract Value: £14.5m Date of completion: Sep 2011 Gross internal area: 7,921 sqm Chair of Jury: Charlie Hussey Regional representative: Mark Jermy Lay assessor: Peter Wilson Loughborough Design School images / information from RIBA Address: Loughborough Design School, Ashby Road, Loughborough, Leicestershire, LE11 3TU Contact Loughborough Design School: 01509 226925
