Allies and Morrison has completed the new home for the London College of Fashion at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

It is rich in creativity and production with classrooms, workshops, offices, a lecture theatre, canteen, an archive, digital studios and social spaces.

Previously dispersed across six sites, this is the first time in the college’s history that all its departments co-locate under one roof. Catering for courses from journalism to jewellery, fashion illustration to footwear, menswear to marketing, the building has been conceived as a 21st century factory atelier. Outwardly straightforward, internally it can accommodate multiple strands of production with process-driven internal arrangements that are continuously adaptable to future change. It is the UK’s largest centre for fashion excellence in all its diversity.

This internationally significant project will provide specialist infrastructure to power the growth of the knowledge economy and unlock the potential to commercialise research and development (R&D) innovation while contributing to city life.

On a special site, beachside homes and a critically acclaimed seaside eatery have brought new life and a touch of glamour to a corner of Worthing.
