New campus for Stratford
University Square Stratford
Birkbeck is establishing a permanent presence in east London and is working in partnership with UEL to build a dedicated campus in Stratford. Located in the centre of Stratford (next to the Theatre Royal and the Picturehouse), University Square is due to open in autumn 2013. The building will provide a variety of cutting edge facilities and will become home to the growing number of students choosing to take Birkbeck courses in east London.
Facilities
A five-floor building, University Square is designed around a large light-filled atrium and will house flexible teaching and performance spaces for over 3,400 students, as well as academic and administrative offices. Within the building there are dedicated spaces for subjects including law, performing arts, dance, music and information technology.
The ground floor provides the central hub of the building as well as a student advice centre, IT helpdesk and café. There will be a dedicated learning resource centre which has been generously funded by the Garfield Weston Foundation.
