“Pool Street West sets a new standard for student living in a fantastic building, which has been designed to encourage innovative and accessible academic programming.” KEVIN ARGENT Deputy Director of UCL Estates & Director of Estates Development

A BUILDING FOR THE COMMUNITY

Pool Street West has been designed to encourage the creation of innovative academic programming, as well as offer an exciting, accessible space for events and activities that will be open to all. The performances, exhibitions, workshops and lectures held here will contribute to a lively and creative learning atmosphere, and will open UCL’s doors in completely new ways, with research and educational programmes that the local community can become involved in. Our new accommodation will be among the best available in London. The two towers on either side of the podium, rising above a landscaped roof terrace, will be home to over 500 students, with accommodation designed as clusters of six to eight en-suite bedrooms sharing kitchen and living areas. Each cluster will also have a common room with three-way views across Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
