Construction News Image
Architecture practice Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios (FCB Studios) has won a RIBA competition to design a new £33 million building for the University of Warwick's Faculty of Arts.

The firm, which beat off competition from Foster + Partners, Grimshaw, White Arkitekter and Wilkinson Eyre, will lead the design team for the new multi-million pound purpose-built facility.

Once completed, the building aims to attract the wider University and the public by showcasing the teaching, research and impact work it carries out and providing a progressive range of zones for performances, exhibitions, conferences, and informal study.

Professor Simon Gilson, Chair of the Arts Faculty, said: "The competition has been immensely valuable in generating a wealth of ideas for a building that will serve students, staff and the public over the coming decades.

"The successful architects, Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios will be helping us move into the exciting next phase of the development as we look to create a building that is open, inviting and flexible, allows collaboration, creativity and innovation to flourish, and acts as a hub both for public engagement in the humanities and for nurturing cultural value."

Andy Theobald, Partner at FCB Studios, added: "Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios are delighted to have been selected to lead the design team for this exciting new Faculty of Arts building at The University of Warwick. This will be a very significant new building for the campus and one that will embody the cultural values of both the University and the Faculty.

"We are very much looking forward to an exciting collaboration with the Faculty to develop our competition-winning proposals and together create a building for interaction, learning and research right across the Humanities."
