Beatrice Shilling
Innovative and inspiring teaching and research buildings designed to enhance the student experience.
The third new building designed by Broadway Malyan for Coventry University, the Beatrice Shilling Building will provide a focus for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) outreach and enterprise activities. It will complement the Arup-designed ECB1, the faculty's existing teaching block which opened in 2012, which will be linked to the new building via a covered bridge.
The new four-storey building will a provide range of learning spaces that will include a gaming and virtual reality studio, a specialist area for 3D printing and rapid prototyping, a laser facility and physics and electronics laboratories, all designed around a full height central atrium configured to promote student and staff collaboration.
