Clerkenwell campus to receive major makeover with seven-storey structure
City, University of London is set to build an impressive £30 million law faculty in North London.
Legal Cheek understands that the new law school, which will be located at the university’s Clerkenwell campus, will feature an imposing seven-storey glass tower. The plans also include a new four-storey brick structure on the same site, plus the refurbishment of two existing properties.
With construction due to start this summer, the project — which is believed to be costing the University of London institute around £30 million — is due to be completed by May 2019.
Established in 1894, City’s law faculty is currently split over two sites. As well as its campus in Clerkenwell, the school has a building nestled in the heart of legal London at Gray’s Inn. The university currently offers a number of legal courses including the LLB, Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) and Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC).
