Universities
Impactful higher education spaces, delivered at every scale
We design spaces that capture every university’s unique story—their values and ambitions, their challenges and constraints, and the needs of the communities they serve. By bringing together architects and landscape architects, town planners and masterplanners, interior designers and graphic designers, we create places that shape university life at every scale.
From estates strategies and campus masterplans right through to small, thoughtful changes in a single building, we consider the campus experience as a whole. Through deep engagement with students, staff, and communities—combined with the extensive local knowledge of our nine UK studios—our designs champion local context, promote wellbeing, prioritise sustainability, and deliver lasting positive impact.
With expertise in designing for modern pedagogies and optimising campus experience, we act as long-term, trusted partners—helping institutions create resilient, future-ready places that enrich the lives of everyone they impact.

The Beatrice Shilling Building
The Beatrice Shilling Building houses Royal Holloway, University of London’s Department of Electronic Engineering.
Inside, the next-generation of scientists and engineers are encouraged to develop a ‘creativity-first’ approach to learning and research. Unsurprisingly, the building plays a key supporting role, but don’t take our word for it…
Purdown View
UWE Bristol’s Purdown View student accommodation is the largest Passivhaus certified development in the UK, and one of the largest in the world. But that’s only part of its story.
Our team, led by Social Impact Researcher Milly Warner, spent two days interviewing 32 residents through a combination of one-to-one interviews, on-the-spot chats, and group drawing workshop and group walking interview to understand their experience.
