Campus masterplan 2021
The University of Central Lancashire is currently in the process of delivering a £200m capital investment that will significantly transform Preston City Campus. A landmark building within this investment is the £57m Student Centre.
I joined this project at RIBA stage 5, with construction on-site already in-progress, I was tasked with specifying, designing and informing a new style of cafe and retail provision for the ground floor, to align with the overall existing vision.
The initial goal was to create a space that would allow for a large high-end Supermarket Chain to diversify their business into a previously untapped customer base.
I was asked to design the Grab & Go store along with the wider seating area of 571m2.
Client: Bob Turner - Capitol Team
Duration: Oct 2019- Jan 2020
