Corridors and stairwells

The University began life as a technical college in 1952. It has since expanded, building new spaces, updating old, and keeping some original features. This gives us a varied range of architecture, looks, and feel in a contained space. From '80's hospital corridor to modern offices, we should be able to match your designers brief.

Medical spaces

As a university specialising in nursing and medical sciences, we're lucky to have a range of accurate medical test facilities available across two campus locations. Our mock hospital wards come supplied with beds, equipment, and on hand technicians. Built at different times, they also capture the look and feel of modern hospital wards and 1970-90s wards. The campuses also house a mock pharmacy with small doctor's clinic and optician spaces.

Conference centre and offices

This unassuming conference building was built by British Aerospace in the 1990s with an intentional aircraft hangar feel; giving the space perhaps the most unique architecture available at the University. It contains five meeting rooms, three small internal rooms, and one large internal event space with raised stage. With a bright and airy reception area and adjoining function room, the building is well suited to being redressed and repurposed for multiple uses.

Exteriors and Observatory

Being based in Hertfordshire but only thirty minutes outside of London, the University, like Elstree Studios, has the advantage of both industrial and green spaces. Our campuses are designed to encapsulate that green space, promoting better learning through improved wellbeing.

Bayfordbury Observatory sits within 40 hectares of rural Hertfordshire, with woodlands, grassland and lake habitats.

The exteriors at the University are easy to lock off and divert around with plenty of scope for moving around the campus to create continuation.
