Upper storeys

adaptability, typically 7.5m column grid

capacity for a 500 seat Lecture seating provision

10. Basement benefits from the excavation of the existing lightwell
area in front of Block 8, providing access to light,amenity, and
controlled breakout space
11. Entrance level provides access / egress between Block 8, and Block
9. Includes a Reception, Welcome Area, and Security Welfare
12. Out of Hours - the site can be closed-off with a gate, integrated
into part of the new building
13. New stepped access and platform lift to maintain access to
provision to Block 8
14. New courtyard has a central rooflight for natural daylight to the
new floorplate below and to maintain sufficient floor-to-ceiling
height. The sloping roof slab follows the contours above due the
restrictions on levels.
