Goldsmiths University of London Building
The building, to be completed in summer 2010, will house the Department of Media and Communications, allowing different sections of the department currently scattered across the campus, to centralise into a single purpose-built space including radio, TV and photographic studios. Students studying other courses will also benefit from the development as there will be a 250 seat lecture theatre, 120 seat screening room, meeting spaces and a café with outside seating.
