The Metworks building in London was first constructed in 2006 and was recently renovated from an old accommodation space into a cutting-edge creative college. The old, outdated building is now home to one of the largest creative colleges for young adults in the United Kingdom. The college is spread across eight campuses throughout the UK, allows students to explore their creative side, and offers courses in eSports, games, media, music, and computing.

Situated in a central Cambridge conservation area, the building carefully addresses the scale and character of the surrounding urban fabric whilst providing a dynamic new focus for the school. Formed by the overhang of the rooftop sports pitch, an external canopy has been expressed in a deep weave of glulam beams that spread from the activity space out into the courtyard like a tree canopy, supported by organically-shaped tilted columns. A crisply detailed brick plinth wraps around the building, visually supporting a bronze-clad suite of learning spaces. It is this material richness which greatly adds to the impact of the buildingPROJECT DETAILSThe new building sits between, and connects to, two existing school buildings, improving access t... More
