ACADEMIC
Shaping Bristol’s Academic Future OA has established a strong partnership with the University of Bristol, one of the UK’s leading research universities and a founding member of the prestigious Russell Group. Founded in 1909, Bristol consistently ranks among the top universities globally. Our work demonstrates our ability to enhance both historic and contemporary university environments. At the H.H. Wills Physics Laboratory (2013), we sensitively upgraded the 1960s extension of this listed building within Tyndall’s Park Conservation Area, including new curtain walling and enhanced thermal performance while respecting its prominent hilltop location. The Centre for Innovation in the Richmond Building (2017) exemplifies our understanding of modern pedagogical needs, creating flexible teaching and research spaces to support Bristol’s innovative Joint Honours programme across eleven degree courses. Our expertise in transforming existing spaces is evident at 33 Colston Street (2017), where we rebuilt student accommodation following severe fire damage, enhancing facilities with en-suite bathrooms and improved social spaces. At One Cathedral Square (2018), we delivered a complete Cat B fit-out across 2,500sqm, accommodating 320 staff in Bristol’s city centre. The Indoor Sports Centre project increased gym capacity by 30% while creating transparent façades that advertise activities to the campus community. At 31 Great George Street (2017), we delivered 3,600sqm of prestigious open-plan offices overlooking Brandon Hill for 360 university staff.
