UK first for Grafton Architects

摘要

Planning approval has been given for Dublin-based Grafton Architects' first project in the UK, for Kingston University. Grafton was chosen through a Royal Institute of British Architects competition, ahead of a shortlist that included O'Donnell and Tuomey, Howarth Tompkins, Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios and Bennetts Associates. Once completed, the proposals will provide three new public landscaped areas as well as 9,027 sq m of learning space over several floors, a 300-seat multimedia auditorium, rehearsal and performance space for the university's dance courses, a cafe and informal learning spaces.
