Transforming the St. Mary’s Road entrance
Intro
The University is building a new single-storey front entrance on the St. Mary's Road (SMR) façade, to extend the current reception area and provide an even more welcoming environment for students, staff and visitors.
Key features:
- Eco-friendly design, using a recycled steel and timber structure.
- Boosting biodiversity with a green roof, green wall and raised planters.
- Improved lighting with large glass panels and mirror design elements.
- Rainwater harvesting, with rain collection to support sustainable planting.
- New waiting area, coffee outlet, and expanded social seating, to provide more opportunities for social connection.
