Designs for a world class new learning centre, on the campus of the South London and Maudsley campus have been submitted to Southwark as part of the pre-application consultation process.

DMA has been engaged on this project for over a year and half, with an extensive programme of consultation to community members and action groups, end users, facility managers, IT specialists and members of the Charitable Trust for SLaM.

The scheme, still in it's infancy, is being developed as a rigorously planned free standing volume. The external skin is being designed to be highly articulated with carefully detailed windows following a repeat module.

Landscaping throughout will complete the project, to meet the highest standards of environmental performance, but at the same time meet the demands of international mental health professors and lecturers as well as members of the local community.

A full planning application is due in March 2011, with construction due to commence in October of the same year.
