Two new Brutalist-inspired buildings have completed at Essex University campus, continuing the vision set out by the university鈥檚 original 1960s masterplan.

The Patel Taylor-designed scheme splits the library and student centre into two separate buildings, creating a landscaped space inbetween.

Director, Andrew Taylor said: 鈥淭he original 60s plan placed student life at its heart and we鈥檙e now bringing this into the 21st century.鈥�

Ensuring the original breakout panels were still in use, the new wing connects to the existing library across the main frame.

Named on behalf of a family who played a key role in the University鈥檚 history, the Silberrad Student Centre is heading for a major overhaul in renovations.

Plans have been made for Patel Taylor to rennovate other services as well as accommodation.
