Loughborough Design School : Loughborough University

‘A focal point for high quality design thinking on the campus that will communicate the University’s expertise to industry and the wider world’ – this was the vision. A simple circulation pattern acts as a transparent communication loop, which expands and contracts to be an ever-changing working exhibition of the university’s design and research skills. The informal design engenders a fertile environment: it embodies advanced ideas for learning environments and sustainability, and speaks to its surrounding community by including public exhibition and café spaces at ground level.
