LANCING COLLEGE ARTS CENTRE
Lancing, West Sussex
The project brief for a new arts facility within the grounds of Grade I listed buildings provided an architectural challenge, as well as addressing the location of the building within the listed surroundings.
Rather than mimic the adjacent college an imposing gothic chapel, the arts building is a complete contrast; a strikingly modern arrangement of cantilevered cubes set high into the hillside. The new building provides arts accommodation including a photography area, general workspaces, lecture theatre and glazed atrium/display area.
Our quantity surveying service included extensive value engineering focussing on heating installations. With our advice the full project was achieved within budget. The feature elevations and wide spanning space have created a stunning update in a historic setting.
