A dramatic architectural statement and sophisticated use of space of the highest standard. Acting as a visual and functional focus of the University of York’s new campus at Heslington East, the new building makes a striking impression on the emerging campus. The articulation of the different functions provides a series of carefully considered views in the emerging masterplan. The hub encloses a large but welcoming communal central space and accommodates a wide range of academic facilities around the perimeter. This complex but coherent design is of standard that reflects the national significance of the university.
