LDA Design’s £200m masterplan for UCL’s Olympic Park campus expansion has been approved by the mayor of London,

这个18万平方米的项目本周获得了大纲批准，includes buildings by Stanton Williams and Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands.

It is the single biggest expansion since the university was founded in Bloomsbury 200 years ago. It will add a further 40% to UCL’s space.

Construction of UCL East is now set to start next year and be built in phases, with the first occupiers moving in ahead of the autumn term in 2021.

LDA Design said the proposals would provide a new model for campus design, with cross-disciplinary research and teaching, and would be embedded in the local community.

一位女发言人说:“良好的连接是关键，总体规划提供了吸引人的方式和观点。”

“A transparent ‘Fluid Zone’ across the lower levels of the university will link external and internal spaces and ignite public curiosity through showcasing work.”

LDA has been working on the masterplan since April 2015. It was submitted by the LLDC and UCL in May 2017. At the end of last year the LLDC – which also determines planning applications on the former Olympic Park – unanimously resolved to grant permission, subject to finalisation of planning conditions.

Bernie Foulkes, a director at LDA Design, said: “The masterplan for UCL East is intended to change the way we think about the relationship between city and university.

“Its ambition is to be inclusive and welcoming to everyone and to harness the power of the public realm to encourage collaboration and exchange.

“We think by creating this new kind of place, where buildings and spaces share the same sense of openness and accessibility and where people can mix, then great things can happen for the university and for the local community.”

Sadiq Khan added: “As this new development takes shape it will cement London’s reputation as the best place in the world to study, work and visit.”

The project is close to but separate from Allies & Morrison’s Stratford Waterfront project – formerly Olympicopolis – which will provide new homes for the V&A – designed by O’Donnell & Tuomey – Sadler’s Wells and UAL London College of Fashion.

Together the two schemes have been dubbed the Cultural and Education District or CED.
