Brookfield School of Business, University of Leicester

Large Non-Residential Scheme of the Year Award 2020-2021 Finalist

The new University of Leicester School of Business Campus sought to bring together the Department of Economics and the School of Management into one consolidated faculty.

The opportunity to relocate to the Brookfield Campus was consistent with the school’s strategy by providing an attractive and unique identity and focus for students and staff within the School of Business, with the Victorian house at Brookfield as the memorable centrepiece of the new campus.

The new business school development removed some of the lower quality Victorian and unsympathetic mid-20th century buildings to create space for a new extension to Brookfield House providing lecture spaces, teaching spaces and academic offices and a new oval lecture theatre and remodelled and restored Brookfield House.
