Hawkins\Brown and RPP Architects create “beacon for university life” in Belfast

This month we were very pleased to be featured in Dezeen magazine. It features a glowing article on Queen’s University Belfast‘s, new Student Centre, One Elmwood.

“Red steelwork frames a large multi-purpose atrium at the heart of the One Elmwood student hub at Queen’s University Belfast, designed by studios Hawkins\Brown and RPP Architects.

The 11,000-square-metre hub replaces a dilapidated building at the centre of the University’s campus and consolidates all non-faculty facilities into one space, including the Students’ Union, lounges, bars and spaces for events and student societies.

Designed by Hawkins\Brown and RPP Architects to be a “beacon for university life”, One Elmwood is centred around a full-height atrium with red steelwork and a bleacher-style staircase, visible to the surrounding campus through a full-height glass curtain wall.”
