Description

Construction of a new two-storey 'Crit' Building for The School of Architecture at UKC, Canterbury, which is an award winning landmark building in the centre of the university campus.

The new building designed by award-winning architect Guy Hollaway was opened by Stephen Hodder, President Elect of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). He said "the new extension is ‘quite remarkable’ and Kent is ‘leading the way’ among schools of architecture.

Now complete, the new UKC building offers architecture students one of the finest and most advanced learning environments in the UK.

‘Crits’ are an important part of architecture students’ education, providing invaluable experience of having their projects questioned and scrutinised – in the same way as real work situations.

The facilities on offer include a new state-of-the-art 70-inch 'U-Touch' screens with HD resolution which enables up to six students and tutors to interact and contribute to ‘crit’ presentations in each screen.
