Join our diverse community

SCHOOL HIGHLIGHTS
Develop Solutions
Our connections also allow us to regularly work with companies to develop solutions to the problems they face, both enhancing their productivity and profitability and enabling us to share additional knowledge with our students.
Robotics Lab
As well as our BIM centre, we have a Digital Architecture and Robotics lab (DAR), run by academics who do a lot of research work in industry.
Anechoic Chamber
We are home to the only anechoic chamber in London for environmental and building acoustic studies, and our architecture studio enjoys views of many of London’s landmark buildings.
