Parkside Building, Birmingham City University
Landmark university building in Birmingham city centre, housing the institute of art and design
This landmark £61 million project was the first phase of the university's City Centre Campus.
Underlining our track record for creating new campuses at universities, this 18,310 square metre, five-storey facility on Birmingham’s Eastside is home to the university's institute of art and design (BIAD). It includes a media hub with TV, radio and photographic studios.
The design allows for daylight and natural ventilation, with air-conditioned studios at ground floor, and an open courtyard at higher levels.
The new Eastside campus built by us also includes the Curzon building
Low energy targets have been met by a high-performance external envelope with mechanical ventilation limited to studios and workshops. Renewable energy sources including biomass and solar photovoltaic panels helped achieved a BREEAM Excellent rating and EPC A rating.
The building is connected to Millennium Point, home to other university faculties, via a bridge link.
