Contributor(s): Saw Swee Hock Student Centre project team | Saw Swee Hock Student Centre will be the first new building at LSE for more than 40 years. It will be constructed on the site of the current St Philips buildings within the campus and gives every indication of being an exemplary piece of architecture that is innovative, sustainable and inspirational, and which will be at the forefront of 'Contemporary Westminster'. The striking building design is by Irish architects O'Donnell & Tuomey, supported by an excellent design team which includes MEP consultants BDSP and structural engineers Dewhurst McFarland. The project team also includes project manager Turner and Townsend, and quantity surveyors Northcroft. The New Students' Centre will house the Students' Union - including venue, pub, learning cafe, exercise studio, roof terrace coffee/juice bar, fitness centre, media centre, activities space, advice and representation centres; Multi Faith Prayer centre; residences; accommodation; sales and marketing office; and the LSE Careers Service.

Contributor(s): Sophie Giscard D'estaing, Andrew Rajanathan | LSE is known for having one of the most active student bodies in the world and LSE is working to create a world class building that will feature the best facilities for students and will enhance the student experience. In this short film, LSE students Sophie Giscard D'estaing and Andrew Rajanathan set out to discover why the School is building a new students' centre and what the building will look like. 'It's a shame to lose a very old building' comments Andrew after a tour of the St Philips building, which will be demolished to make way for the new centre, 'but it's not very practical right now is it? The corridors are really small and it's quite dark and dingy. I can see now why they want to change it.' The architects working to create a far more open and engaging building are Sheila O'Donnell and John Tuomey. But the new build is about more than designing a more accessible building. 'What we always hear from our societies is that they need bigger and better facilities to expand, to develop' says Aled Dilwyn Fisher, general secretary of the LSE Student's Union. 'The ambition will continue to grow and our facilities have to keep up with that. Having this new students centre on campus will show that LSE is committed to the student experience and in providing the best for its students.'Students from the Media Group agree that there is a need for new and improved student facilities. 'We're getting an editing room' says Mark Richardson, head of Loose TV. 'That's going to be an amazing resource to draw from. If you can't edit properly you're not going to be able to produce a professional production so having a professional style production room will be really good and will really take the society forward in the future.''We want a world class building, the best in the UK and we've set some very high environmental standards for this building' says Julian Robinson, head of Estates at LSE. 'I see this as an absolute career highlight. It's going to be very hard to top this building.

Contributor(s): Howard Davies, Julian Robinson; Jim Gardiner; Professor Saul Estrin; Nevin Sidor; Ingrid Bille; Professor Hugh Collins | On 5 November 2008, Her Majesty The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh officially opened the New Academic Building (NAB) at LSE. This video, produced by 2k5 Media, commemorates the opening of the NAB and provides an insight into the work of architects and builders that turned an old Edwardian building into a superb teaching space for students by day and the city's most contemporary venue for public lectures in the evening. The £71 million New Academic Building, designed by the architects Grimshaw and built by Osborne, houses the School's Departments of Management and Law, and its new Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change. It has eight floors of teaching rooms, four lecture theatres, a debating chamber and offices, and is built around a soaring central atrium flooded with natural light. LSE Director Howard Davies said: 'It's a wonderful space which at last gives us the academic environment to match our academic reputation. The building will help reinvigorate teaching and learning at an expanding LSE. I'm sure it will also be a popular destination for the thousands of visitors who come to our public talks and other events.'The video explains how the internal structures were removed and replaced with new floors - all suspended from a steel truss on the eighth floor to allow a column-free central atrium, which has a timber floor that also swoops up one wall to the third storey and the atrium's glazed roof. It also explains how the building was designed to minimise its environmental impact. A borehole deep in the London soil provides ground water cooling for lecture theatres while solar heating helps provide warm water. The building also includes a natural ventilation system and a cycle park - helping it achieve an 'Excellent' rating under the BREEAM- assessment scheme. At the building's centre is a specially-commissioned artwork by Joy Gerrard which uses a series of hanging globes to represent constellations of ideas and the way that major political or economic thoughts echo through public life. A second art work, by sculptor Richard Wilson, will be unveiled outside the building in the new year. The New Academic Building hosted LSE's first ever literary festival, Space for Thought, which took place from 27 February to 1 March 2009.
