D1c EducationSited within the first phase of a masterplan for the University of Portsmouth North Campus, this effective, competent and low energy building is certainly appreciated by its users. Deliberately understated in design, it has made a considerable impact on the continuing improvement of this important part of the university campus, whilst adding to the conservation area’s unique qualities by respecting local scale, street patterns, elevations, features and materials.
