London architects Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios designed the extension to link the original nineteenth century art school building to a 1960s tower, which was also refurbished as part of the project. A bank of lifts ascends from next to the entrance to every storey of the tower, with bridges and staircases helping to unite the old and new buildings. The new building provides additional studio, workshop and exhibition spaces for the school's 3500 students and features a seven-storey glazed facade, which creates an exhibition and events space that can be seen from the street outside.
