Keele University, Staffordshire -
Clinical Education Centre
The Clinical Education Centre is an outstanding medical education facility for both the University Hospital of North Staffordshire and Keele University.
The main objective of the customer’s brief was to create a flagship building, which would raise the profile and status of both the Hospital and University. The clearly defined form of the architectural elements in juxtaposition with the dramatic and dynamic axis along the spine of the building interacts to produce a synthesis of space and light.
A major element of the building is the two-storey library rotunda where a central cylindrical light well diffuses daylight into the ground floor study and reading areas. The strong form of the library in conjunction with its glazed façade and elevated position make it a beacon for this prestigious development, day and night.
Keele University achieved Best Architectural Design at the Stoke-on-Trent, North Staffs Citizen of the Year Awards.
