The Quadrangle

This award-winning Quadrangle building at Middlesex University’s Hendon Campus represents the striking focal point at the entrance to the campus.

By remodelling the existing 1930s Quadrangle building which previously housed Middlesex Universities library, and covering it with an innovative glazed roof, we have created an exciting and welcoming space. In addition to the glazed courtyard are new external corridors that have been created to improve the flow of the main internal corridors which where previously single directional, restricted routes.

The concept for the roof comes from an arrangement of four separate bays, each an inverted pyramid with its peak supported by freestanding masts. Each of the supporting cluster columns sits eccentric to its own bay so that the pyramid becomes skewed rather than orthogonal allowing the columns to be located a greater distance a part giving a more open footprint to the space below.
