London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine
Devereux Architects designed and implemented this project to provide the school with new teaching, ancillary and public spaces where staff and students can informally meet.
The resulting scheme comprises a 7-storey free-standing extension in the Northern Courtyard set within a glass atrium and linked by pedestrian bridges to the existing Grade II listed building.
Using the existing building surrounding the North Courtyard as the primary enclosure to the new accommodation, the aim was to reclaim external space for much needed research office use whilst creating new top lit atria space around it. In so doing, the Courtyard was brought into purposeful use whilst adding a new internal focus for the School. To aid the quality of this proposal, the existing façades underwent renovation work to both clean the brickwork and rationalize the exposed surface mounted services on the existing elevations.
