这座6，950平方米的大楼的提供尽量减少了未来重建阶段对学生经验的影响，办法是将这一核心活动迁移到一个崭新的设施中，该设施位于学术空间和新住所之间的一个中心。该大学与学生进行了广泛的协商，并研究了最近在英国和世界各地开展的类似的新图书馆计划。

The provision of this 6,950m2 building minimises the impact of future phases of redevelopment on the student experience through the relocation of this core activity into a brand-new facility, located at a focal point between academic space and new residential accommodation. The University has consulted widely with the students and looked at comparable recent new library schemes both in the UK and worldwide.

由于现有的“脚印”，该网站具有挑战性，因此在九层楼有一座相对较高的建筑。以这方面为契机，每一层高层的静默学习空间，在满足学生对更多安静工作空间日益增长的需求的同时，形成了一堵具有极好景色和日光的“书房墙”。该网站的规模扩大是通过大学以前商定的发展框架与地方当局建立的。

The site is challenging because of the available ‘footprint’, resulting in a relatively tall building at nine floors. Taking this aspect as an opportunity, silent study spaces on each of the upper floors make a ‘study wall’ with excellent views and daylight whilst fulfilling the increasing demand by students for more silent working space. The increased scale of this site had been established with the Local Authority through the Development Framework that the University had previously agreed.

这所大学热衷于创造一种强有力的公民姿态。MCW与Thorp预制紧密合作，开发了一种简单、健壮的预制混凝土覆层语言。大跨度围护板在每一层产生大面积的无柱空间。一个双高的入口空间定位于街道景观，并包含一个悬挂的阁楼层，学生们可以在那里与学术支持小组会面。(鼓掌)

The University were keen to create a strong civic gesture. MCW worked closely with Thorp Precast to develop a simple, robust language of precast concrete cladding. Long span coffered slabs generate large areas of column free space at each floor. A double height entrance space addresses the street-scape and contains a suspended mezzanine level where students can meet with the academic support team.

该项目是在原项目预算拨款范围内交付的，并在2016/17学年之前向学生开放。这座大楼已实现了微风。该计划在大学如何更有效地与当地社区和城镇中心进行互动方面发挥着至关重要的作用。一楼的咖啡馆和信息进入区完全是上釉的，提供了一个令人欢迎的、可公开访问的环境。

The project was delivered within the original project budget allocation and opened to students ahead of the academic year 2016/17. The building has achieved BREEAM Excellent. The scheme plays a vital role in how the University can more effectively engage with the local community and town-centre. The ground floor café and information access area is fully glazed offering a welcoming, publicly accessible environment.
