BDP has completed a project to renovate and connect two modernist buildings at Coventry University, establishing a new hub for the College of Arts and Society.

The design, led by BDP’s education team, based in Manchester and Birmingham, involves the addition of a contemporary extension that links the Maurice Foss and Graham Sutherland buildings. Renamed as the Delia Derbyshire building, it aims to serve as a central point for creativity on the university campus and enhance the university’s connection with the wider city.

The design also accommodates the university’s expected increase in student numbers and facilitates greater engagement with local communities and enterprises.
