A site is acquired for the proposed new joint college building, with an estimated cost of £6million. The separate identities of the colleges will be preserved, although students will benefit from shared facilities, such as the common room, main entrance hall, lecture theatres and dining accommodation. Hammersmith College of Art & Building will also have classes in the building.
The main service areas are designed to act as a noise baffle, where the site borders Talgarth Road, while a concrete roof structure will reduce aircraft noise from the Heathrow flight path above.Ìý
