London College of Communication

View all projects

The new home for UAL's London of College Communication sees the college move from its current premises across the road into a new 12-storey, dynamic building over Elephant & Castle Underground Station, incorporating the college's three schools - design, media and screen - and almost 60 courses. As well as providing the college with a flexible environment for its teaching, it will accommodate the core administrative functions for the University of the Arts London (UAL), its renowned international language centre, training and conferencing facilities, the Student Union and Stanley Kubrick Archive.
