Following on from a new building at Loughborough University, Burwell Deakins architects have created a new collaborative lecture theatre space for Queen’s University Belfast, as part of a programme of upgraded student facilities. Adjacent to a new student centre, currently under construction, this flexible space provides a new form of collaborative teaching space and a learning space at other times, to promote flexibility and collaborative learning.

"The many great gardens of the world, of literature and poetry, of painting and music, of religion and architecture, all make the point as clear as possible: The soul cannot thrive in the absence of a garden. If you don't want paradise, you are not human; and if you are not human, you don't have a soul."
(Thomas Moore)
To be an architect means having a wide range of interests - architecture, art and creativity in all its variety of forms, sustainability, science and innovation. The greatest interest is often where these different worlds overlap and collide - that is when something imaginative often occurs that pushes us all forward to another place
