The state of the art research and academic building brings together cross-disciplinary expertise; the centre for the UCL East academic vision, uniting Experiments, Arts, Society, and Technology (EAST)
Marshgate, the 35,000sqm state of the art research and academic building will bring together cross-disciplinary expertise. The centre for the UCL East academic vision, it will unite Experiments, Arts, Society, and Technology (EAST) across taught programmes, research, and innovation. Currently on site, the project is designed around a series of passive design strategies including the use of thermal mass, natural ventilation, fabric first approach, maximising natural daylight through an optimised façade design, together with efficient active measures and renewable technologies.
"This project presented a unique opportunity to create a distinctive place: a new kind of university quarter that captures the excitement and vitality that draws people to live, work and study in contemporary London. Drawing on the energy of its East London setting, the Lee Valley's legacy of industriousness and creativity, and the exceptional cultural and landscape setting of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, this will be a place for curiosity, learning and collaboration engaged with the culture of the surrounding city."
Gavin Henderson, Principal Director, Stanton Williams
