Macmillan Education and Springer Nature’s new London campus consolidates the firm’s UK publishing operations on their canal-side site at King’s Cross, central London.
The scheme combines an eclectic collection of new and old buildings, each with its own character. The redevelopment focused on providing a collegiate feel, connecting spaces through a network of alleys and routes, wide open spaces, and interesting interplay between existing, refurbished, and newly acquired spaces.
A key feature of the campus is the sustainable reuse of the historic Porter South Warehouse Building. The building’s industrial character has been preserved with exposed brickwork, visible services, expressed steel structure and open atria, creating a visually striking and engaging environment.
Flexible working areas, breakout spaces and café-style seating encourage collaboration and bring people together, fostering a sense of community across the campus.
“The aim of the redevelopment of the central London campus was to create a collegiate feel within a contemporary and visually stimulating environment.”Joe Witchell, Practice Principal
