Kingston University Vice-Chancellor Professor Spier said the high calibre of practices expressing an interest in the project matched the University’s vision and ambition for the future. “At Kingston University, we firmly believe that world-class architectural design helps drive educational quality and innovation,” he said.
“Our new long-term strategy bears the name of our internationally acclaimed Mies van der Rohe Award and RIBA Stirling Prize-winning Town House and embodies our commitment to embedding creativity, innovation and future skills at the heart of our students’ education. The successful multi-disciplinary design team will play a pivotal role in helping us realise our aspiration to create a building that will benefit generations of students, staff and the wider borough community.”
The shortlisted teams will now outline their potential approach to the project and set out how they would work with Kingston University stakeholders to ensure successful delivery of the Middle Mill Building. The process will conclude with a clarification interview ahead of a winner being selected and announced early in 2023.
