Project details

At the centre of the Digby Stuart campus masterplan redevelopment, the library provides a modern, adaptable learning environment for students, staff and the local community. It offers spaces for individual and group working and has a garden room facing onto the parkland at the north end of the building with cafe facilities and a terrace at roof level to enjoy views across London.

Working with Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, we have delivered a passive, sustainable low energy building that enables comfortable conditions throughout the year.
