School of Architecture

The School of Architecture is hosted in the Abercrombie building. The building was designed by Design Engine Architects and won awards from the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) for both its design and sustainability. Glass bridges connect the 2 sides of the building and there are design studios for you to use on both the third and fourth floors.The building is an example of best practice in terms of sustainability, construction, design and facilities, and will inspire you whilst you create your own visions.

We also have a dedicated workshop. The workshop houses a range of equipment for model making and fabrication. As well as traditional equipment, a range of digital equipment - 3 laser cutters, 2 CNC routers, 5 different types of 3D printing and 3D scanners, is available to students with no additional charge. All relevant training is provided by workshop staff.
