Haworth Tompkins has won an invited competition to find a Masterplan Architect for Trinity Hall, Cambridge. The Masterplan process will involve the development of a phased, ten year plus strategy for the three sites that make up the Trinity Hall Estate. The Masterplan is intended to be a living document that will pose strategic questions about how a University of Cambridge College will fulfil its role in the coming decades. It will not only identify prospects for building and renovation projects but will consider implications for education, people and the operations of the College in the context of a comprehensive sustainability and regenerative design strategy.
