King s College Upland Road Wing and Learning Centre Extension

Transcription

1 Project: King s College Upland Road Wing and Learning Centre Extension Consideration: King s College is seeking to commence the first stage of its 10-year master plan. The first stage project includes an extension to the existing Learning Centre in the administration building (which is a foundation building on the current site), a new accommodation wing at the front of the site, and a significant reconfiguration of the front entry landscape by relocating the carparks and roadway to the front edge of the College to create a pedestrianised forecourt addressing the tower and chapel. This enables several significant site improvements. The new accommodation wing creates an edge to the front open landscape address of the College, defining a new student entry and providing a more secure line of access that is currently absent to the residences of the College. The new building connects into the existing routes and networks. With the new building forming a rear edge to the Chapel and conjunction with the creation of the forecourt, the proposed work re-establishes the Chapel and Tower as the predominant public and community buildings on the site. Description: The accommodation wing of the project increases the resident population of 297 to 326, through the reduction of 9 beds with the demolition of the Country Estate building, and the addition of 38 rooms in the new wing. The new wing comprises of 4 flats: 2 x 10 beds and 2 x 9 beds across 2 floors. Each flat has a common study space and communal lounge area and basic kitchenette. Each floor has communal bathrooms facilities and laundry that can be shared by either flat. The ground floor features two Person with a Disability (PWD) accessible rooms and a PWD accessible bathroom. The basement contains a secure bike store for 96 bikes for the use of the entire College. The new work also includes a PWD accessible toilet to serve the Chapel to the rear of the Chapel and also includes a PWD access upgrade to the Chapel. The Learning Centre extension doubles the capacity of the existing Learning Centre, and also increases the modes, sizes and types of learning that it supports. It also creates an ancillary terrace to the dining hall terrace, accessed from the Junior Common Room and connection to the Centenary Lawn. The established construction palette at King s is brickwork, and all new construction features brickwork, matched similarly to the existing brick of the College. The new wing also features operable aluminium sunshades, similar to the recent Centenary Building at the College, creating a relationship with this building and a more contemporary architectural style and identity. All aspects of the proposal are in accordance with the College Master Plan recently approved by Senate.
