£500 million proposal would transform college’s central London site.

Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands has drawn up proposals for a £500 million masterplan to transform University College London in Bloomsbury.

Work will take place over a 10-15 year period, with a new campus proposed away from the central London site, due to constraints on the existing campus.

Alex Lifschutz said: “Somewhat neglected outdoor spaces will be reconfigured as valuable places where cultural and intellectual engagement can thrive, for students, academic and other staff and also for ordinary Londoners.

"The approach is incremental, sensitive and sustainable. It will deliver an absolutely top university campus befitting UCL’s reputation as a leading international institution in the heart of London."
