Transform the teaching and student experience at Coventry University.

Works included the refurbishment and remodelling of the four-storey Maurice Foss building and the construction of a new four-storey teaching facility adjacent to the existing School of Art and Design accommodation.

The project also involved the refurbishment and remodelling of an existing art and design workshop, and the full remodelling and refurbishment of the Graham Sutherland building, an existing seven-storey tower.

redevelopment

The new facilities feature a hyper studio designed for cross-disciplinary projects and immersive studios with cutting-edge virtual reality and mixed reality technologies; enhancing the faculty’s creative, teaching and learning spaces and offering students sector-leading facilities in a unique environment. The project also provides high-quality studios and workshops for film, photography, printmaking, wood, metal, plastics, ceramic fibre clay and digital education.

The campus remains live with surrounding buildings remaining occupied.
