University of Westminster embarks on major redevelopment of Harrow Campus

The University of Westminster is embarking on a major redevelopment of its Harrow campus which is aimed at inspiring the student experience.

The redevelopment of the Harrow Campus will take place in four key phases. Phase One began in January 2011 with a series of preparatory works to enable the main contract to start in August 2011.

This will include refurbishment of floors two to five of A Block and the remodelling of the Learning Resources Centre which is scheduled to be completed in December 2011 and September 2011 respectively.

Phase One will also see the new Forum building, which is set to be ready for the start of the 2012/13 academic year.

Phase Two will encompass the development of the central link and the West Courtyard. This is due to start at the beginning of the summer in 2012.

It is due for completion at the start of the 2013/14 academic year.

Refurbishment

The refurbishment of the ground and first floors of E block will take place as part of this phase together with the creation of a new workshop in J Block.

Phase Three is the refurbishment of the ground and first floors of A Block. Work on this phase will start in June 2013.

Under this phase, works will also begin in remodelling the refectory space in B/D Block.

This stage of the works will be completed by May 2014.

State-of-the-art facilities

The project will deliver fantastic, state-of-the-art facilities; new and improved social and learning spaces; an enhanced sense of community for students and staff and a more sustainable site with reduced environmental impact.

This exciting four-year project will see the development of the existing site through a combination of new build facilities and the extensive revisioning of existing premises.
