West Downs One, University of Winchester

West Downs One is a "gateway" building that is being constructed by the University of Winchester as the principle point of accessing their West Downs Campus.

This £40m development comprises a lecture theatre, public library, teaching/study spaces, social learning space, gallery and café. The project is of particular importance to the university as many areas will be available for public use helping to further integrate this educational establishment into the community.

Mecserve has been appointed by the D&B contractor, Osborne Construction, to undertake a full design working in close union with the university and their appointed architects, Design Engine. We are currently at RIBA Stage 4, with works on-site scheduled to commence in late 2017.
