This is currently housed in a Georgian terrace and the neighbouring Leverhulme building, designed by Charles Reilly in the 1930s and revamped in the 1980s by King and McAllister.<\/p>\n<p>The extension will be the first element to be built, followed by the refurbishment of the existing buildings, including the terrace, Budden Building and Sterling Gallery. This first phase will incorporate overlapping studios, exhibition and teaching space, offices and a caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>According to a planning statement lodged with the application, the new addition \u2018represents a bold and striking entrance to the school, facing University Place which, in time, will be set within landscaped grounds\u2019. This open space was the subject of an outline planning application.<\/p>\n<p>The statement says: \u2018The design takes its cues from the geometry of its surrounds and provides views across from the school to the Metropolitan Cathedral, itself an inspiring piece of architecture, for students to appreciate their setting and context for the first time.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The new building will be connected to the Leverhulme building \u2018via a splice which anchors the two together\u2019 with the main entrance opening on to Bedford Street.<\/p>\n<p>The planning document goes on: \u2018Externally, the solid fa\u00e7ades of the extension will be clad in a high-quality brick to align with the character of the campus and its heritage as one of the original \u201cred brick\u201d universities. At ground floor level, high-performance glazing\/solid insulated panels and louvres are proposed.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018A high quality, fair-faced, in-situ concrete fa\u00e7ade with a lightly sandblasted finish is proposed on the first floor. The second floor fa\u00e7ade [will feature] standard sized, hand-laid red brick. The\u00a0 third floor fa\u00e7ade proposes a metal standing seam roof, with high performance glazed aluminium sections with integrated glazed louvres.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>A timber mezzanine floor is proposed between the ground and first floors.<\/p>\n<p>Work is expected to start on site this autumn.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_604780\" class=\"large_size_img_caption wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 630px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-mbm-image-xlarge wp-image-604780\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/emap-nibiru-prod\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/02\/19145231\/04-View-to-Cathedral-1600x900.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">O&#8217;Donnell + Tuomey\u2019s design for Liverpool University\u2019s School of Architecture extension \u2013 internal view towards the cathedral<\/p>\n\t<p class=\"inline_image_source\" style=\"max-width: 630px;\"><p class=\"empty_inline_source\"><\/p><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dublin-based practice was chosen unanimously for the \u00a323 million scheme three years ago ahead of 6a architects, Eric Parry Architects, Carmody Groarke, Haworth Tompkins and fellow Dubliners Grafton Architects.
