Detailed information

Kingston University's six-storey extension was the first university building ever to win the Architecture Award. The high glass panes not only allow a view of the unique interior design of the teaching rooms, but also create an open and inviting atmosphere.

The building was designed with sustainability in mind: the walls are made of recycled bricks and the green roof and courtyards contribute to a better environment.
