Lambeth College Nine Elms Campus

Buildings and campuses have an increasingly important influence on student applications as well as being significant in attracting and retaining the best academic staff. Facilities need to accommodate the needs of a wide range of users and a variety of activities, many with complex technical requirements.

At ArchitecturePLB we are practiced at working with diverse stakeholder groups, developing briefs and design solutions that balance the varied needs and concerns of different parties. We enjoy bringing our engagement skills, expertise and creativity to the design of technically demanding facilities. These have included laboratories, surgical suites, workshops and studios, as well as social and amenity spaces.

Lambeth College STEAM Centre

Completion Date Planning granted November 2019

Contract Value Circa £100m Masterplan

Client Lambeth College / South Bank Colleges

ArchitecturePLB worked with Peter Marsh Consulting and Lambeth College to develop a four phase masterplan for extensive redevelopment of the Vauxhall campus. The masterplan, which achieved planning consent, includes 25,000 sqm of further education floorspace, a 272 bed student residence as part of a mixed use building and 4,570 sqm of “Maker Space’ ; shared workplace / incubator units. These are brought together in a new campus with new public realm and pedestrian through-routes. ArchitecturePLB developed a design code to inform the character and quality of future phases.

As part of the hybrid planning application we also developed the detailed design for phase 1 of the masterplan, a 10,000 sqm STEAM centre, a purpose-designed building for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths which will incorporate a range of specialist teaching spaces including dental technology, construction workshops, radio and TV studios and other digital teaching spaces.
