Planning approval has been given for Grafton Architects’ first project in the United Kingdom, for Kingston University. The Royal Borough of Kingston’s Development Control Committee voted unanimously in favour of the landmark scheme following strong support for the project, including backing from the local Conservation Area Advisory Committee.
Once completed, the proposals will provide three new public landscaped areas as well as 9,027 square metres of learning space including; a modern learning resources centre over several floors, a 300-seat multi-media auditorium, rehearsal and performance space for the University’s popular dance courses and a café and other informal learning spaces.
