Along with Marshgate (see pages 30 – 31), Pool Street West is part of UCL East, a new world-class UCL campus located on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Opening in 2022, the building’s first three floors will be home to the Future Living Institute, where we will bring together transformational activities from at least five UCL faculties. It will prioritise innovation for the future, collaborate on local and global challenges, and develop solutions that will build a fairer, more sustainable world. We will deliver research, teaching and innovation in areas that span making, sensing, robotics, urbanisation, urban living, ecological sustainability, culture, art and history. Open to the public, there will be a mix of labs, teaching and research spaces and common areas, with informal seating and open spaces where people can meet to collaborate and socialise. Pool Street West will be home to a number of academic centres and spaces, including: – Robotics and Autonomous Systems – Nature-Smart Centre
– Global Disability Innovation Hub – Urban Room & Memory Workshop – Slade Studio – Connected Environments Lab
