UCL Faculty of Laws

Built

Tim Crocker

This project involves the significant yet sensitive refurbishment and extension of two adjacent buildings, including one Grade II listed, to provide improved facilities for UCL’s Faculty of Laws.

Knowledge Networks: London and the Ox-Cam Arc

Since 1965, UCL’s Faculty of Laws has been housed at Grade II listed Bentham House and the adjacent mid-20th Century Gideon Schreier Wing. These two disparate buildings have been unified to create a state-of-the-art environment for learning. Significant refurbishment, an extension of 1,000 sqm and a new five-storey atrium between the two address long standing building and space deficiencies and provide step-free access at all levels. Throughout, different styles of working are accommodated through a range of spaces, from secluded window seats to open plan hotdesks. Internally, heritage elements have been exposed, whereas outside, walls have been upgraded. It was rated BREEAM 'Excellent'.
