FASHION RETAIL ACADEMY

This project was the refurbishment of a 7 storey insitu concrete frame structure into a Retail Academy for a high profile client.

The project involved the removal of part of the first floor to form a two storey Lecture theatre, the removal of the ground and first floor at the entrance to provide a three storey atrium entrance foyer. Within the atrium area 2 existing columns were removed up to the underside of second floor to make way for a feature staircase. Also above the two storey theatre area, a single bay mezzanine floor was constructed.

Arcadia Fashion Retail Academy achieved "highly commended" at the LSC/RIBA Awards 2008.
