MARSHGATE UCL EAST PHASE 1

A MODERN BUILDING FOR INSPIRING THE WORLD’S THINKERS, INNOVATORS AND MAKERS

Marshgate will be home to new degree programmes, research, innovation and technologies from across eight UCL faculties – uniting activities across Experiments, Arts, Society & Technology (EAST). Marshgate is the larger of the two buildings at UCL East, the first new campus we’ve built since the university was founded. Located on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, the world- class campus will bring together researchers, students, communities and partners to collaborate on solutions to the biggest challenges facing humanity. Twelve new academic centres, spread across Marshgate and Pool Street West (see pages 32–33), will make up the core of the campus, gathering the best and brightest thinkers from a range of disciplines to explore issues as diverse as sustainability, future manufacturing, urbanisation, healthcare, culture heritage, and social inclusivity. A CAMPUS DESIGNED FOR COLLABORATION
