New London Architecture

Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists

Built

RCOG is the new home providing contemporary office spaces while enabling the College to provide a fully accessible building with an emphasis on health, wellbeing and sustainable design.

RCOG's new building in Southwark sees the retrofit of two existing buildings, a converted 19th century hop warehouse and a 1980s office building by creating a new light-filled atrium knitting the buildings together. The new building provides office spaces to support innovative ways of working and celebrates its role as a hub for women’s health globally, providing a multitude of flexible educational, work and social spaces, in addition to meeting and collaborative areas for UK and International members. The ground floor café and drop-in space can be used by visitors and the local community enabling the College to provide a fully accessible building with an emphasis on health, wellbeing and sustainable design.

Through the creation of a glazed atrium, the new building for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) on Union Street in Southwark, London unifies two existing buildings; a converted 19th century hop warehouse and a 1980s office building. The building has been made fully accessible and provides a variety of flexible educational, work and social spaces which help to support the RCOG’s brief that their new building becomes a Women’s Health hub that emphasises the importance of health, wellbeing and sustainable design.
