Duchesne Building, Roehampton University

The Duchesne building is located on a tight site between student residential accommodation and the students' union. Arranged on four floors, the new facility provides seminar rooms, raked lecture theatre, research and office spaces.

A simple concept places the cellular teaching rooms to the quiet rear of the site. The circulation, breakout and support areas are all contained in the front glazed box which links the key teaching spaces and provides opportunities for interactive learning in informal breakout areas on each level.

The building incorporates a variety of teaching spaces including fully IT/AV serviced seminar rooms for 30+ students, larger flexible lecture rooms for 60+, formal raked 154 seat lecture theatre space and informal post-graduate lounge and resource areas to promote interactive learning. LCD units in breakout areas provide live information feeds. Rooms have full blackout capability and a high degree of acoustic insulation to optimise the teaching environment.

These spaces have now become the most popular bookable teaching spaces in the University and will also deliver the pioneering CETL ‘Crucible’ facility promoting the teaching of Human Rights issues.
