A 21ST CENTURY BUILDING
Opening in 2023, Marshgate has been designed to provide new spaces for collaborative thinking that transcends the boundaries of traditional academic activities, enabling students and staff to immerse themselves in innovative activities and game changing approaches to research. It will provide over 34,000 square metres of academic space – the size of nearly five Wembley football pitches – as well as café and retail uses. At ground level, Marshgate opens onto the riverside, providing outdoor spaces that can be enjoyed by all. A central atrium, open to the public, has been designed to draw people into a network of accessible spaces and exhibition areas, including showing the work taking place in our Institute of Making. The upper levels of the building have been designed to encourage cross-disciplinary working and engagement between the academic users, with open-plan and circulatory spaces alongside research labs, teaching spaces and study facilities. Marshgate will be home to a range of academic
centres, including: – Institute of Making
– Advanced Propulsion Lab – Manufacturing Futures Lab – Experiential Learning and Research Hub – Global Business School for Health – Institute of Finance and Technology – Robotics and Autonomous Systems – Culture Lab – IDEAS
