Library & Student Hub, Ambleside Campus, University Of Cumbria, Ambleside, United Kingdom. Architect: John McAslan & Partners, 2

---

Refurbished buildings and a landscaping scheme created a 21st-century university campus within the National Park. A new Library in a converted barn structure is now the social heart of the campus. The existing timber roof structure has been exposed, greatly increasing the building’s overall volume, while redesigned windows maximise natural light, creating an attractive working environment. A new extension contains a timber-clad café with generous glazing providing views out over the courtyard and campus beyond.
