Kingston School of Art nominated for a BREEAM Award 03.01.20

Kingston School of Art has been nominated for the BREEAM Public Sector Project Design Stage Award, following its BREEAM Outstanding design stage certification.

The project involves the major refurbishment and extension of the 1970s art school to provide 8500sqm of studio and workshop space for Kingston University. Designed to deliver a 52% reduction in operational CO2 consumption compared to the existing building, it features 800sqm of green roof, wildlife habitats and sculptural solar shading canopies. The original brick facades and concrete and steel structure were retained helping to minimise the release of embodied carbon. The awards take place on 2 March.
