Leicester College

Leicester College 

The site lies on the strategically important Grand Union canal corridor on the edge of Leicester College. It represents an important opportunity to improve access to the existing canal network in Leicester and in this way allow a greater enjoyment of the waterway in the City.

The landscape concept for the Abbey Park Campus draws strongly on the desire to create both a new public space, whilst using the opportunity the redevelopment creates to rationalise and manage pedestrian and cyclist movement across the site. The college building itself is sited to provide a strong frontage to the Belgrave Flyover therefore improving the integrity of the urban grain, whilst simultaneously creating a barrier to noise and pollution which may otherwise affect the college site.
