The new buildings have also been conceived and designed as substantial and important additions to the University’s Crawley campus, providing a much stronger physical presence for both the college and the University on the University campus’s primary, ceremonial frontage. The new buildings are therefore conceived as important material additions to the University landscape, with significant capacity to strengthen the University’s architectural identity and physical presence along its eastern gateway.
