Hornbeam Building, Keele University

The refurbishment and re-cladding of an existing part pre-fabricated/ traditional build complex, set in the heart of the University and under threat of demolition.

​

The Practice was appointed to review the building to upgrade the interior to meet new user requirements, and to bring the building as close as possible into a condition both structurally, aesthetically and thermally to meet current legislation.

​

Selected demolition was suggested, the creation of a new entrance foyer, new extended staircases to replace external stairs, and a complete re-cladding exercise to change the appearance from an austere drab building into a bright, vibrant, clean modern complex.
