The Kingston School of Art has gained further recognition by winning the 2021 BREEAM Award for the best Public Sector Project-Post Construction.
Working with Haworth Tompkins Architects, the project involved a major upgrade and extension to provide over 10000sqm of refurbished creative space, it achieved BREEAM Outstanding and delivered a 52% reduction in operational carbon emissions.
The project demonstrates how BREEAM can be used as a positive force to bring about transformative upgrades to unloved buildings.
The judges commented that they were “impressed with the take on overall wellbeing, as well as embracing the challenge of refurbishing an existing building. The efforts made on solar shading, biodiversity and accessibility were also highly rated”.
