The proposed scheme for University College London’s Future Living Institute research centre lies on the southern edge of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. It comprises two residential towers containing more than 500 student rooms, raised above 4,600m2 of flexible multi- functional space that houses teaching and experimental laboratories.

Shockledge worked with Bouygues UK in its extended bid for the construction works, developing an alternative structural scheme, including the value engineering of elements such as a pre-cast façade and hybrid steel atriums to improve the construction methodology without compromising the architectural vision for the project.
