The University of Cumbria came to JCA to realise their aspiration for creating a new teaching hub at their Lancaster Campus just outside the city centre. The brief was to design a state of the art facility that was to contain teaching rooms, a lecture theatre, breakout spaces and amenity facilities. The building was to be procured using off site prefabrication so the design had to accommodate the exacting requirements of this type of construction. A great deal of planning and liaison regarding the prefab unit manufacture was necessary. The building was set into landscaped grounds and JCA worked closely with the landscape architect to realise the master plan for the entire site.

A lecture theatre was proposed.
