We were appointed to provide Bath College with a concept masterplan for their Avon Street Campus. The plan provided a vision to illustrate the College’s role and future within the World Heritage Site of Bath and its integration within the Council’s wider scale masterplan development. The proposed creation of a new centre of excellence reflects the immediate needs, future ambitions and objectives of Bath College.

The masterplan includes a detailed comparison of the use of existing College spaces with their aspirations, to deliver a 10-15 year phased development strategy and provide a modern and reimagined teaching facility in the heart of Bath that will deliver the new curriculum agenda. With the overall vision to become the country’s most enterprising college, focusing on collaboration and innovation, the plans include the creation of a new Innovation Centre to bring together commercial tenants and college academics. To help link these two user groups, the design has created a stimulating setting for creative interactions and integrations, providing the space and support necessary to both accelerate start-up businesses and assist student learning.
