UEA Lecture Theatres

The Lecture Theatres are one of the highest occupancy spaces for students and for events such as open and applicant days and therefore have a high visibility for the student experience and attracting students to the UEA.

A re-fresh of the existing 1960’s UEA lecture theatres and associated foyer areas to improve the first impression students and parents get from the University as well as improve the experience of using these spaces for the students and lecturers on a day to day basis. A new external lift improves accessibility and provides a new frontage to the building which is informed by glazing bays on Lasdun’s Teaching Wall. New windows to the main foyer spaces improve natural lighting and views out onto the landscape while creating a more active frontage facing the campus showing a fresh and more welcoming internal arrangement. The removal of redundant projection booths maximised seating capacity within the lecture theatres.
