The recently refurbished Roding Building at London Metropolitan University, Holloway Road campus has opened its doors to students.
This is the first ‘test-bed’ project for the University in creating their strategic vision for the future: to bring all of the University’s teaching departments on to one campus for the first time in 170 years – One Campus, One Community (OCOC).
The design concept for the building was to create a new teaching and learning facility – providing a series of flexible and open-plan spaces for the predicted future needs of the University; the building has been refurbished with a focus on spatial arrangement, impact and function, offering modern teaching facilities – IT Suites, Seminar Rooms and communal areas; including the new Highbury Canteen, where both students and staff will benefit from an enhanced refectory that is vibrant and well-located for the convenience of those working or studying in the Roding Building.
Calum Shields, Project Architect at Bond Bryan Architects, explained: “The University has tremendous potential and we were really excited to work with their Estates Team. The brief was to deliver an outstanding facility for students and staff, providing high-quality and flexible learning spaces which respond to different teaching styles and group sizes; the result provides a better quality of space and it will, without a doubt, transform the student, staff and visitor experience at London Met.”
The Bond Bryan team is delighted to have four projects shortlisted in the prestigious RIBA Awards 2018.
The Institute of Education, Sheffield Hallam University and The National College for High Speed Rail, Doncaster have both been shortlisted in the RIBA Yorkshire Award 2018.
The Advanced Manufacturing Building at The University of Nottingham has been shortlisted for the RIBA East Midlands Award 2018.
The National College for High Speed Rail, Birmingham has also been shortlisted for the RIBA West Midlands Award 2018.
Managing Director Jonathan Herbert said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be shortlisted for each of these awards; the competition in all three regions is intense and we are proud of all of our people whose hard work and determination has made this possible.”
If successful, the Regional Award winners will be considered for a highly-coveted RIBA National Award in recognition of their architectural excellence, the results of which will be announced in June. The shortlist for the RIBA Stirling Prize – the best new building of the year – will be drawn from the RIBA National Award-winning buildings in July and the Stirling Prize winner will be announced in October.
