Highbury College Refectory

A Design & Build contract with Dean & Dyball, Studio Four developed the design and production drawing package during the construction phase.

This project was commissioned as part of the Southern Universities Affinity Group framework.

The scheme was conceived from the University of Winchester’s demand for social learning spaces.

The wind tunnel at the University of Southampton is used by many outside individuals and organisations, as well as the students themselves.

The College wished to replace all their temporary teaching accommodation with a single Teaching Block of 1800sq.m, including Laboratory and Lecture Theatre facilities.

The proposed development will provide the additional space required, as well as a separate functional area which can be isolated from the existing refectory creating a more versatile space.

Following the results of a D.D.A. Audit, Studio Four were appointed to address the shortfalls highlighted.

Studio Four were appointed to redesign the external elements of an existing building on campus.

The University required an additional six Reading Rooms for the existing Library. Studio Four undertook a Feasibility Study and investigated various options and locations.

This Hospital Campus project follows on from the success of the Somer Cancer Sciences Building.
