The new library and School of Architecture and Construction is located along an approach from Greenwich Town to Greenwich Park within the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site. The building has the dual role of having to both embed itself as a piece of urban fabric to the south while making itself recognizable as a civic entity to the north. Its expression shifts in response to its context, appearing from Nevada St as a series of tightly packed volumes which blend into the streetscape; as one rounds the corner this fabric begins begin to pull apart, revealing the activity within and establishing the universitys presence within the town as a space of academic excellence and urban connectivity.
