In an announcement made as plans were submitted for its \u00a358 million House of Architecture revamp, the RIBA said it will move into the Jerwood Centre, a \u2018self contained\u2019 neo-Georgian building designed by Carden & Godfrey Architects.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 23-year-old building sits just south of the main Royal College of Physicians (RCP) building designed by Denys Lasdun, a former RIBA president, former Royal Gold Medal winner and National Theatre architect.<\/span><\/p>\n

As part of the agreement between the RIBA and the RCP, the RIBA will make use of the main RCP building\u2019s services as well as holding the inauguration of upcoming president Chris Williamson there in September, plus other events.<\/p>\n

The Jerwood Centre, which opened in 2002 as home to the RCP\u2019s education department, is located 60m south of the 61-year-old Lasdun building<\/a>, which opened in 1964.<\/p>\n

Jack Pringle, the RIBA\u2019s chair of board, said: \u2018To have secured the self-contained Jerwood Centre and use of the iconic Sir Denys Lasdun-designed RCP building in one of London\u2019s most beautiful parks is exceptional.<\/p>\n

\u2018This ensures we can continue to deliver for members and provide an excellent temporary base for our teams only a few minutes\u2019 walk from Portland Place.\u2019<\/p>\n
