The Brief

With increasing student intake in the city, University College London needed to expand their existing facilities to provide more accommodation and living space. With spare land expensive and hard to come by, a roof top extension to an existing 1950’s-built college building, located opposite St Pancras Station in Central London, was needed.

The Challenges

Height – Building at height increased health and safety risks, meaning extra precautions and considerations had to be taken.
Location – Situated in Central London, opposite St Pancras Station, city centre experience and knowledge were required to ensure safety and efficiency and to minimise disruption.
Adding to an existing build – The new facilities needed to compliment the current 1950s sandstone-faced college building and fit in with its surroundings.
