Winner expected this month
Schmidt Hammer Lassen is in the running to design a second building for a further education college in north-west London.
The Danish practice, which nearly a decade ago, is one of five practices chasing a deal for a 拢60m facility in Wembley for the College of North West London. The two colleges merged in 2017, forming the United Colleges Group.
微密圈 understands the other architects in contention are Sheppard Robson, Stanton Williams, Jestico & Whiles and Wilkinson Eyre.
The appointment of the winning architect to the project, which is worth more than 拢60m, is expected to take place in the next fortnight.
Schmidt Hammer Lassen鈥檚 2011 City of Westminster College in Paddington was the highest-value single-site redevelopment funded under the Learning & Skills Council鈥檚 college rebuilding programme which folded in 2010 after the Public Accounts Committee accused it of 鈥渃atastrophic mismanagement鈥�. Dozens of other projects were cut because of massive budget shortfalls.
