| Description |
|
During the
construction phase of this new building, on
the Warwick University campus, a sign was
erected to let everyone know what was
coming. The sign is shown below but
because it is hard to read I have
transcribed the message below the image Our Investment in Your Future New Teaching and Learning Building Imagine a place
where innovation and excellence in
teaching and learning is second
nature. The University of
Warwick is building you a dedicated
facility with local spaces where you
will be able to engage in ingenious
teaching and learning.
We are investing £20 million into this building bringing the strengths of our departments together to ensure that we continue to enhance that central feature of a university education.- the pursuit of intellectual curiosity. Expect to move into your new building in Summer 2016.  The architect's website
explains that, ".... The building
contains a main lecture theatre, a
range of seminar rooms, offices and
meeting rooms along with informal
‘breakout’ spaces. Beneath the elegant
laminated timber roof are two stacked
tiered lecture theatres, with the
activity and bustle of the University
flowing around them. Set within a
landscape that includes a public
forecourt, amphitheatre and terraced
seating spaces, the building
dramatically changes how the
University looks and operates."
