Architecture and science in dialogue: Designing Imperial College White City

White City Campus is Imperial’s major new campus in west London, bringing together world-class researchers, businesses and partners from academia and the local community to work, share ideas and turn cutting-edge research into benefits for society.

Join us for a thought-provoking panel discussion with architects from Allies and Morrison and Imperial academics who are working together to build a vision for an open, welcoming and permeable campus fit for a 21st century university in London.

Imperial College London speakers: Professor Neil Alford, Associate Provost; Professor Deborah Ashby, Director of the School of Public Health; and Professor Majid Ezzati, Chair in Global Environmental Health.

Allies and Morrison speakers: Paul Eaton, Partner and team lead, White City Masterplan; Billy Choi, Director and architect, Sir Michael Uren Hub; Laurie Hallows, Director and architect, School of Public Health; and Ruth Treacher, Director and interior designer on the Invention Rooms project.

The discussion will uncover the key ingredients necessary to develop state-of-the-art multidisciplinary research facilities for a university pursuing a research agenda advancing care, with a particular focus on Imperial’s new School of Public Health set to open in 2023. It will also look at how to design engaging spaces for a local and diverse community to come together with students and staff to work and collaborate.
