The Grove Art, Design and Media Centre, Hendon

Project Description

Phase 3 of Middlesex University’s Hendon Campus Masterplan consolidated all Arts programmes from the Cathill Campus into a new £42 million Art, Design and Media Centre for the School of Arts and Education. The centre comprises a vast array of specialist studio space for Painting and Fine Art, Film and Photography, Fashion and Textiles Design, Jewellery, Ceramics and Sculpture, Digital Media and Animation, and Sound and TV recording. The central Atria provides a display area for creative work along with a social hub and catwalk. The roof of the atria is constructed from a clear PTFE cushion that has the benefit of high light transmission and thermal efficiency. The three-storied atria provides access to teaching spaces and viewing spaces for the various shows staged by students.
The varied colours and materials used in the design reflect the wide ranging resources used within the Arts courses taught.  There are references in the architecture to fashion and sculpture, jewellery and photography in both the use of colour and texture.
