Architect sought for ‘statement building’

The RIBA has launched a design competition for a “statement building” at the University of Leeds.

The three-storey student hub will replace an existing low-rise building on a former cricket pitch at the heart of the western campus.

It is intended to provide a welcoming new focal point. Running to around 4,000sq m, it will provide a home for student services as well as flexible teaching spaces, quiet study areas and social venues.
