About the project

The London South Bank Technical College; STEAM centre is a c10,000sqm further education teaching facility for Construction, Science, Dental Technology, Engineering, Digital and Creative, IT, English and Maths. The design comprises 10 storeys of teaching, learning and support space. The ground and first floor comprise a deeper 2-storey section containing the main entrance space, café/socials learning space and large workshops for construction skills training, upon which the remaining 8 stories sit on a narrower – more traditional teaching floor plate which accommodates a range of general purpose, IT, Science, Dental Technology, Digital and Creative, English and Maths located either side of a circulation corridor.

Key features of the building are a series of double heighted spaces that stack above one another starting with the reception area; higher up the building these provide for learning resources and drop in IT spaces to support informal and collaborative learning. The building had been designed based on a traditional reinforced concrete frame. The facade comprises brick work and curtain walling at lower levels with a distinctive pleated metal cladding incorporating to the upper stories. The design incorporates a window arrangement with louvres above that is consistent with a typical ESFA school design solution.
