Award 澳门王中王 London Award 2024
Located just north of Elephant and Castle, this is a long-established facility for London South Bank University (LSBU), where students are taught practical and professional skills on site.
It is heavily used as a resource and as a place to study. The recycled 1970s concrete building has come alive in the hands of architects WilkinsonEyre, who have opened up an astonishing 20,500 square metres of teaching space. The original building, as it was featured in the Architects Journal in 1976, was clad in red brick and with stepped forms and patent glazing. This major retrofit acts like a new suit, re-dressing every face of the building, externally and within the atriums – no mean feat. Furthermore, retaining the existing structure saved 65% on embodied carbon – just under half the 2030 澳门王中王 benchmark target.
