STUDENT CENTRE
ONE CENTRAL CAMPUS BUILDING, WITH OVER ONE THOUSAND PLACES TO STUDY
DEDICATED STUDENT SPACE We’ve significantly improved the student experience by designing a building just for them. We consulted with the student community to create a space that gives them what they need in the way they need it. The new building is open round the clock and provides an endless choice of study spaces. A glass atrium lets in light and lifts ensure the entire building is accessible and forms a new east–west route across the campus. Students can choose from 1,000+ study spaces, of which 647 can be monitored by an app so they can see which ones are free. And we created bookable study cabins — small collaboration rooms with desks, chairs and AV equipment. The award-winning Student Centre secures UCL’s place as a world-leading university by giving students a collaborative space where they can work, discover and learn for generations to come.

The Centre belongs entirely to students and is their ‘home on campus’ for studying individually or in groups, speaking to the UCL enquiries team or dropping in to the Student Wellbeing Centre for disability, mental health and wellbeing support. Students can also use the adjacent Japanese Garden, which features new landscaping, planting and seating to create a tranquil outdoor space. The Centre has become a popular meeting and study space, both day and night, and forms part of a new accessible route through UCL’s Bloomsbury campus, linking Gordon Street and Gower Street.
A HOME ON CAMPUS
SUSTAINABLE BY DESIGN
The building has been designed as a flagship for sustainability, with features including solar panels, efficient sanitary fittings that halve water consumption and windows that open automatically for natural ventilation.
“The Student Centre has really strengthened the sense of community at UCL, the sense of belonging to something great.”

BLOOMSBURY THEATRE
THE ONLY ‘WEST END’ THEATRE AT A UK UNIVERSITY
The Bloomsbury Theatre refurbishment gives students hands-on training in a modern working theatre with facilities that exceed industry standards – preparing them for life after graduation.
BRINGING A MUCH-LOVED THEATRE INTO THE 21ST CENTURY
The Bloomsbury Theatre showcases the best of theatre, music, dance and comedy with 12 weeks a year dedicated to student productions. We carried out an extensive restoration programme to enable students to learn in a working theatre while leaving a legacy that performers, stage staff and the public can enjoy for years to come.
‘PLUG AND PLAY’ TECH
We made huge advancements to the theatre’s tech by installing customisable lighting, specialist stage electrics and replacing the lifts that allow the stage to be extended or retracted for performances. The new tech makes it easier and faster for production companies to customise the stage, audio and lighting for performances by enabling them to simply ‘plug and play’. Elsewhere, we have transformed the experience for theatregoers with luxurious seating, new cooling and ventilation and modern acoustics. Additionally, we have reinstated the historic paint-frame: the canvas used by artists to create backdrops and scenery.
“After the refurbishment we could put on some absolutely fantastic shows and it means that all the students have access to such good facilities.”

The auditorium improvements include new wheelchair spaces and chairs with removable arms so people can easily transfer to and from their wheelchair. We’ve created accessible welfare facilities for performers, staff, students and visitors, while a new lift and a special dressing area enables actors in wheelchairs to perform on stage.
BRINGING LONDON IN
The new theatre is designed to ‘bring London in’, not only as an audience but as users of the theatre and studio spaces, with opportunities for collaboration between academics, artists, performers, directors and companies inside and outside UCL’s community.

22 GORDON STREET
A NEW HOME FOR THE BARTLETT SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE THAT PROVIDES ITS STUDENTS WITH INSPIRING PERSPECTIVES OF THE CITY
The refurbishment has doubled the amount of teaching and research space, creating a spectacular home for the world’s top place to study architecture.
SAME BUILDING, DOUBLE THE SPACE
The refurbishment of 22 Gordon Street was the first major Transforming UCL project to be completed. To undertake the redevelopment, we moved the Bartlett School of Architecture into a large nearby warehouse for three years. The temporary use of this huge, open space heavily influenced the design of the newly-developed space at 22 Gordon Street. Through redeveloping the former Wates House, we were able to double the amount of space available while working within the building’s existing structure. This enabled the Bartlett to extend its programmes, including the creation of a new MEng in Engineering and Architectural Design, which is delivered jointly with UCL Engineering. Remodelling the interior, we created an enhanced foyer and café, a ground floor exhibition and event space, brand new workshops and a mix of teaching and research areas, including seminar rooms, studios, crit spaces, computer clusters and academic and admin offices. The layout was designed to incorporate inspirational views from key positions within the building and informs the school’s teaching approach. Students begin studying at the top of the building in a studio that gives them a ‘penthouse’ view, then each year they move down through the floors as they progress towards graduation. Breakout spaces on each level of the stairwell encourage interaction and collaboration among students from all years. The new facilities are highly praised by students and academic staff, particularly the ground floor event space, which has full height windows that invite passers-by to peek in and see the students’ work on display during exhibitions. UCL Bartlett School of Architecture is consistently ranked among the top architecture schools worldwide and has around 1,000 students and 134 staff. Providing it with a high quality, low-energy environment for teaching, learning and research, has helped the school to secure first place in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2019.

1–19 TORRINGTON PLACE
NEW TEACHING SPACES WITH A FOCUS ON NATURAL MATERIALS TO ASSIST STUDENT WELLBEING
New teaching and learning spaces facilitate student-led research, collaboration and skills development and provide valuable study space at crucial times of the year.
FLEXIBLE SPACE FOR ALL STUDENTS
We refurbished the ground and lower ground floors of 1–19 Torrington Place to create a mix of lecture theatres and classrooms that are complemented by open areas where students can relax, study and work together between classes. The teaching facilities are available to all UCL departments and form the largest amount of centrally bookable, shared teaching space on the Bloomsbury campus. The bright, modern classrooms are fitted with high-quality audio-visual equipment and new furniture with laptop integration. The spaces can be reconfigured to support different types of teaching, including group project work and problem-based learning. The east and west entrances at the front of the building are now fully accessible and there’s disabled parking spaces to the rear of the building. The new lifts and wider doorways better serve wheelchair users. Students, lecturers and staff now have gender neutral toilets and water fountains have been installed on all floors. The internal spaces were designed with student wellbeing in mind and use natural materials and colours, with an emphasis on wooden panels, to create a pleasant space. And the use of high-contrast design creates differentiation across areas of the building and aids navigation through the corridors.

– SPECIALIST STUDY SUITE FOR GRADUATE RESEARCH STUDENTS
The redevelopment of Bentham House encourages interaction between academics and students, creating an amazing community for world-class legal learning. To undertake the redevelopment of the Grade II listed Bentham House and substantially increase the size of the space available to the Faculty of Laws, we acquired the freehold interest in an adjacent building on the site (Hillel House). We then created new accessible connections between the two buildings and transformed the newly combined building into a contemporary teaching and learning space that reflects the faculty’s standing as a leader in legal education, while showcasing the building’s grand architecture. We created a building that feels like a contemporary legal office rather than a traditional academic space. The welcoming open spaces are designed to bring the entire community together by providing opportunities for academics and students to interact with each other, strike up conversations and share ideas. Bentham House’s majestic Moot Court provides a mock courtroom space that allows students to take part in ‘mooting competitions’ — simulated trials where they develop the essential skills they’ll need after graduation. Elsewhere, the rejuvenated teaching spaces support students, with lecture theatres that can accommodate up to 100 people and classrooms for collaborative working in smaller groups. The new social hub at the heart of the building features a café, common room and a lecture hall and can also be converted to an event space for up to 300 people. We also improved accessibility with wheelchair access and pedestrian links between the buildings on each floor. MARRYING THE OLD WITH THE NEW
A HUB FOR LONDON’S LEGAL COMMUNITY
Bentham House is an important meeting space for the wider London legal community. The lecture theatres and Moot Court are regularly used for events, which staff, students, legal professionals and members of the public are encouraged to attend.

WILKINS TERRACE
AN AWARD-WINNING OUTDOOR SPACE FOR STUDY, RELAXATION AND SOCIALISING
The transformation of the heart of UCL’s Bloomsbury campus into a peaceful, light and open courtyard gives students, staff and visitors an enjoyable outdoor space.
TRANSFORMING A DISUSED SERVICE YARD
We took a cluttered, unused service yard behind the Lower Refectory and turned it into a popular inner sanctum that attracts people from across campus every day. Wilkins Terrace has two levels. The lower level is next to the Lower Refectory (see pages 18–19) and provides a new space where people can sit outside to eat, work or socialise – something that couldn’t be done before. The new east–west access route that we created on the upper level opens accessibility across campus, improving connections between places like the Bloomsbury Theatre and new Student Centre on Gordon Street with the Main Library and UCL’s main entrance on Gower Street. And by building a grand staircase and installing a lift we connected the two levels, further enhancing accessibility.

NEW OUTDOOR EVENT SPACE
The open upper level is a peaceful courtyard that doubles as an accessible outdoor event and social space, with hidden power outlets for bringing in visual and sound equipment. The Students’ Union has held events in the Wilkins Terrace, and it’s also available for corporate events — with the refurbished refectory offering the option for catering, too. The Terrace is also home to the Donor Wall (see page 22) — an artwork showcasing UCL’s most generous funders, with the Terrace playing host to a hugely successful event to celebrate its opening.

FOSTERING THE ENTREPRENEURS OF TOMORROW FROM THE TOP OF AN ICONIC BUSINESS BUILDING
The UCL School of Management conducts disruptive research and trains future business leaders, from the 38 th floor of One Canada Square. Inspired by start-up workspaces, we designed a facility that encourages collaboration between staff and students as they engage in innovative research and education. Level 38 reflects the industries that students will work in and sets the precedent for teaching spaces outside UCL’s campus.
THE UK’S FIRST OPEN-ACCESS QUANTUM TECHNOLOGY FACILITY THAT CAN MAKE, TEST AND MEASURE NEW QUANTUM MECHANICAL COMPUTER CHIPS Quantum technologies promise to revolutionise computing, security and sensing by harnessing nature at a deeper level than ever before. The high-spec cleanroom we built houses new tools for the growth and patterning of materials to create nano-scale (around one millionth of a millimetre) quantum devices, while three new state-of-the-art measurement labs enable the study and demonstration of these devices at ultra-low temperatures. These facilities will enable academic and commercial users to build new technologies that harness the strange laws of quantum mechanics, for example, to create new ‘quantum’ computer chips able to solve problems far beyond the reach of today’s biggest supercomputers.

LOWER REFECTORY
RESTORING A BUILDING’S ORIGINAL CHARACTER TO CREATE A DISTINCTIVE DINING HUB
The refurbishment of the Lower Refectory restores the building to its former glory, showcasing original features while creating a beautiful and contemporary catering space for students, staff and visitors.
OPENING UP THE SPACE
The refectory is UCL’s largest dining facility, providing hot and cold meals, snacks and drinks on site, and a catering service for meetings and events across the whole campus. We renovated the entire cafeteria — designing a new commercial kitchen, creating welcoming indoor and outdoor dining areas, and improving welfare facilities, accessibility and energy efficiency. The original building had many attractive features, which we wanted to celebrate. We removed the low, suspended ceiling to reveal the original high ceilings, discovered hidden parquet flooring and opened up the windows to allow the light to flood in.

EXTENDING THE DINING CHOICES
We wanted to give diners a choice of open and closed seating areas. So we designed quality banquet seating, which gives a sense of privacy, created open areas with tables and chairs, and added bench tables along the window. We also created a new outdoor dining area. The Lower Refectory now opens on to the new Wilkins Terrace (see pages 14–15), giving students, staff and visitors a quiet outdoor dining space. Students had a say in what goes on the menu. We asked them what they wanted in order to give them a wider choice of food that caters to all diets while offering good value at the same time. The Lower Refectory sits at the geographical heart of UCL’s transformation programme. An important part of the work was opening access to other areas of campus, including the Wilkins Terrace, Bloomsbury Theatre, Main Library, Front Quad and the Japanese Garden through to Gordon Street. The revitalised refectory is bringing students, staff and visitors to the centre of UCL and is a vibrant hub for eating, studying, relaxing and socialising.

KATHLEEN LONSDALE BUILDING
AN INSPIRING CENTRE OF LEARNING AND RESEARCH FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF EARTH SCIENCES
The refurbishment gives UCL Earth Sciences a modern facility where academics and students study everything from the origin of the earth to the history of the life it sustains.
MODERNISING A HERITAGE BUILDING
The Kathleen Lonsdale Building was constructed in 1915 as UCL’s first purpose-built chemistry building and is named after the scientist, Quaker and pacifist who conducted ground-breaking crystallography research at the university. To create a world-class facility that could house the entire Earth Sciences department, we carried out a major refurbishment – reinstating some historic features while improving the layout to create modern teaching, research and social spaces. Students now learn in labs filled with the latest scientific equipment. And because the entire department is in one building there’s an increased opportunity for interdisciplinary research, covering areas including earth sciences, maths, chemistry, biology, physics and astrophysics. The building also showcases the work done there, with a Rock Room housing the department’s collection of rocks, minerals and fossils, and an impressive dinosaur skeleton in the entrance symbolising how life and earth have co-evolved.

The building now has a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) lab with the latest medical imaging equipment, which is used in the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of diseases, including cancer and dementia.
BLENDING THE OLD WITH THE NEW
While modern facilities are essential to advancing science, we wanted to highlight the building’s Grade II heritage by restoring some of the original features. We reinstated the cast iron and timber balustrade at the top of staircase by rebuilding a section that had been removed, renovated original plasterwork in one of the teaching rooms and revealed the original glazed bricks in the postgraduate research lab.
A GRAND RE-OPENING
Sir David Attenborough re-opened the building at an event where UCL earth scientists Professor Paul Bown and Dr Jeremy Young presented him with a ceramic sculpture of a newly discovered ocean plankton species named in honour of the BBC’s Blue Planet series.

INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION
A HIGH CALIBRE SPACE FOR NURTURING EXTRAORDINARY EDUCATORS
The transformation of the Institute of Education cements its status as the world leader for research and teaching in education and social science, enabling them to continue attracting the best staff and students.
WHAT WE’RE DOING
We’re refurbishing a Grade II* listed building and extending its life into the 21st century – while improving accessibility, the efficiency of layouts and better utilisation of space. We’re working in six phases.
27
– A SUPERB LIBRARY, RECEIVING 1.5 MILLION VISITS A YEAR
– 930 TEACHING SEATS IN STATE-OF-THE-ART ROOMS – 100 STUDENT STUDY SPACES – NEW STUDENT BAR WITH OUTDOOR TERRACE – BREEAM ‘EXCELLENT’ RECOGNITION
– NEW LIFTS AND ACCESSIBLE FACILITIES, INCLUDING TOILETS – NEW STAFF WORKSPACES – BOOKABLE MEETING AND STUDY SPACES

INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION
WHAT WE HAVE DONE TO DATE
In phase 1 we transformed 2,500 square metres of space into modern teaching, study and social areas. We worked closely with the institute’s education experts to design a variety of teaching spaces, from lecture theatres to seminar rooms, to give them maximum flexibility. The new teaching spaces now reflect their approach to academic teaching, and have received positive feedback from prospective students during campus visits. The 930 teaching seats we built mean that all teaching now takes place under one roof – and money saved from renting external spaces can be reinvested. There’s also opportunity to lease the conference and teaching spaces outside of term time. Students now have private study areas, a bar with an outdoor terrace and a world-class library that’s attracting people from across the whole campus. The central booking system means that meeting and study areas can be used to their full potential. We’ve taken a creative approach to the space available. By adopting a more open-plan environment, 90 people now comfortably work in a floor space that used to house 36. The new offices strike a balance between open and private areas to encourage a dynamic and flexible way of working and delivering an improved user experience. In phase 2 we’ll be creating further modernised space that will enable 72% of staff to move into new spaces by its completion, which is due in early 2022. Phase 3 will complete the refurbishment of 20 Bedford Way and form part of future plans for the estate beyond 2024. We’ll also be renewing the environmental and life safety systems to make the building even more welcoming and comfortable.

REINVIGORATING THE SOCIAL AND LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR STUDENTS
The Students’ Union is the beating heart of campus life and the first place freshers head to when they arrive. We refurbished three floors to give them outstanding UCL Union-branded facilities and an exceptional student bar with new tables and seating, improved acoustics and a new DJ stage. We also transformed one floor of the building into a modern teaching and learning space for UCL Mathematics that will help drive its ambition to become a world-ranking department for teaching and research.

A BEAUTIFUL SPACE FOR ADVANCING RESEARCH AND EDUCATION IN POLITICAL SCIENCE
The new building for the UCL School of Economics and Public Policy brings together students and academics in the departments of Economics and Political Science at UCL in a dedicated home for the first time. It will be a stimulating place for studying politics at the forefront of research and education on global governance and economic and public policy. To house the new school, we’re transforming three Grade II listed Georgian townhouses in the heart of campus, a stone’s throw from policymakers in Parliament and Whitehall.
