"A coming of age"

NTU - Heart of the Campus


On receiving this months issue of the RIBA Journal, we were thrilled to discover that we'd been allotted a full 7-page spread in precious printed medium!



RIBA Journal March 2016 - Vol 123 Issue 03



As if that wasn't a nice enough surprise - last tuesday morning we had NTU featured on the front page of the RIBA Journal website!

Here is a link to the article just in case you missed it : "A coming of age"

Kind thanks to @hughpearman for the thoughtful analysis and of course Martine Hamilton Knight for the wonderful photography.



Further to this great news we've just had the news that NTU has been shortlisted among twelve projects for the RIBA East Midlands 2016 Awards, following a short press release from RIBA EM Chair Valeria Passetti :

NTU - Library Extension


Work is progressing on site for the library extension with steelwork being installed and the overall form beginning to take shape - it won't be too long before it's up and running, providing a link for students to the suite of buildings making up the heart of the campus.

Progress on site!

Square Chapel Centre for the Arts

Groundwork continues on site in Halifax with concrete and steel going in, the feature stairs balustrade has been taking shape with the concrete castings looking tactile and warm despite the wet and cold weather!

 We're really looking forward to seeing the building take shape in the coming months while details are being developed and finalised working closely with the Square Chapel Trustees.
