Vision, planning & design Principal Academic Building (Zone 3)
Imperial is developing a 400,000 sq ft GIA learning and research building as the academic anchor building to the campus – the ‘Principal Academic Building’ (PAB) – shown in dotted outline above.
It will be an inspiring and inclusive environment that encourages collaboration between academics, students, businesses, and public/third sector partners across multiple academic disciplines.
6
The building will enable academics and students to push traditional boundaries of research, innovation, education, pedagogy and student experience. This is a major increase and diversification of Imperial’s academic presence at White City & Hammersmith Hospital Campus. A design team has been appointed and we are targeting opening in the Academic Year 2028/29.
