霍金斯布朗新建的5层教学楼为金斯敦大学提供商务和法律系，位于伦敦西南部金斯敦山校区的中心，是一座高度耐用和环保的建筑。拥有宽敞的室内空间，为社会互动和学习提供了一个枢纽。

Hawkins\Brown’s new 5-storey teaching building for Kingston University to accommodate the Faculty of Business and Law has completed. Located at the heart of the University’s Kingston Hill Campus in South West London, the new building is highly durable and environmentally efficient. Featuring spacious interiors, it provides a hub for social interaction and learning.

这座7290平方米建筑的中心是一个圆形建筑，每个立面上都有一个入口，这是一个充满亮光的双层玻璃屋顶中庭空间，它也是地面和一楼的流通中心，也用于非正式的学习、活动和演讲。在流通路线之外有开放的“休息室”区域，在中庭周围的窗台之间还有窗口座位和笔记本电脑吧。除了包括150个座位的讲堂和120个座位的教室在内的正式教学空间外，还有学术办公室、研究套房和其他较小的教学和电脑室的设施。

Designed in the round with an entrance on each elevation, at the heart of the 7290 sq m building is a dramatic light filled double-height glass roofed atrium space which, as well as being the circulation hub for the ground and first floors, is also used for informal learning, events and presentations. There are open ‘lounge’ areas off the circulation routes as well as window seats and laptop bars between the window bays surrounding the atrium. In addition to formal teaching spaces including a 150-seat lecture theatre and a 120-seat classroom, there are also facilities for academic offices, a research suite and other smaller teaching and computer rooms.

位于一个倾斜的地点，该建筑设置在吸引人的景观设计，以明确不同的水平，同时提供良好的通道，并通过路线到周围的建筑物。这座建筑四面八方都有砖砌的高地，因此选择了一个斑驳的紫色和棕色的砖块，以回应这片绿叶的保护区的设置。砖头也被选中，因为它的环境质量，并帮助使建筑的坚固感和重力，适合商学院。凹进的窗户上有闪闪发光的青铜阳极化铝板，使砖栅充满活力，在正面投射出一种光亮和阴影的图案。这些面板被蚀刻了一个微妙的叶子主题参考林地设置。

Positioned on a sloping site, the building is set within attractive landscaping to articulate the varying levels whilst providing excellent access and through routes to the surrounding buildings. Featuring brick elevations that run uninterrupted around all four sides of the building, a mottled purple and brown brick was chosen in response to the leafy conservation area setting. Brick was also selected for its environmental qualities and to help give the building a sense of solidity and gravity, fitting to a school of business. Recessed windows with shimmering bronze anodized aluminium panels animate the brick grid, casting a pattern of light and shade across the facades. The panels are etched with a subtle leaf motif referencing the woodland setting.
