Quadrangle architectural competition winner

King's is delighted to announce that Hall McKnight have won the competition to redevelop the Quadrangle at King's College London's historic Strand Campus. They fought off strong competition from Estudio Barozzi Veiga; Estudio Carme Pinos with Soto-Lay Architects; Eric Parry Architects; Henley Halebrown Rorrison and Zaha Hadid Architects. Hall McKnight's submission was considered to be unique in playing to the strengths of the historic buildings surrounding the Quad. The Strand Campus at King's College London provides teaching and social space for some 9,000 students and 1,500 staff. The campus is home to the College's Schools of Arts & Humanities, Social Science & Public Policy, Natural & Mathematical Sciences, Dickson Poon School of Law and Global Institutes & Centres. Over the next five years King's plans to add a further 2,600 students at this campus. The £20 million project to design and redevelop the Quad, including the buildings below it and the immediate surroundings, will provide an additional 3,700 square meters of teaching and student social space.
