We’ve installed a temporary, modular building to provide extra teaching facilities for UCL during the Transforming UCL improvement programme. The pop-up has high-spec audio-visual systems, two seminar rooms and two lecture rooms that can accommodate up to 300 students. The exterior features an eye-catching ‘art wrap’ depicting UCL’s history, which was designed by UCL Slade School of Fine Art lecturers Edward Allington and Jo Volley.
