Scheme is practice’s fourth for City University

Associated Architects has been given planning for its fourth major project for Birmingham City University.

Its latest scheme will involve adding a 10,000sq m extension to the university’s campus in the Eastside area of the city. The Β£34 million building will be an extension to the Β£63 million Curzon ΞΆΓάΘ¦, which was also designed by Associated Architects.

It will be divided into two sections of two and six storeys and will provide a variety of formal and informal teaching and learning spaces for 3,000 students.

The university is spending Β£260 million updating its city centre campus which includes a new Β£46 million home for its Birmingham Conservatoire, designed by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios and set to open in 2017.

The music school is moving to a new home at Millennium Point after being relocated from Paradise Circus which is undergoing a Β£500 million redevelopment masterminded by Glenn Howells.
