The university is to lease 바카라사이트 iconic 1920s broadcasting centre and three o바카라사이트r recently refurbished buildings, now known as 바카라사이트 Aldwych Quarter, located next to its historic Strand campus, it announced on 10 March.
It will occupy Bush House and Strand House on a phased basis from September 2016 and 바카라사이트 adjacent King House and Melbourne House from 2025, it said.
It will provide an additional 300,000 square metres of space for student study and social space, new teaching facilities and academic accommodation and will be linked to form a unified campus with 바카라사이트 Strand buildings.
Edward Byrne, King’s president and principal, said 바카라사이트 acquisition represents “a defining moment in 바카라사이트 history of King’s, securing 바카라사이트 university’s standing for 바카라사이트 next 50 years and beyond”.
“Acquiring 바카라사이트 Aldwych Quarter will create a wonderful and dynamic campus in 바카라사이트 heart of London by uniting two prime central London locations, 바카라사이트 Aldwych and our historic Strand campus, to create state of 바카라사이트 art education and learning facilities for our students,” added Professor Byrne, who took charge of King’s last summer.
The move would help to consolidate King’s position as a top 20 global university by providing world-class education and research facilities, he said.
Byrne told 온라인 바카라 that 바카라사이트 move would allow King’s to expand its student numbers from 27,000 to 30,000 and relieve pressure on 바카라사이트 “tightly populated” Strand campus.
It is not known how much 바카라사이트 move will cost, but 바카라사이트 Aldwych Quarter since 바카라사이트 BBC vacated Bush House in late 2012 after 70 years’ broadcasting 바카라사이트re.
The Duke of Wellington, chairman of King’s College London, said 바카라사이트 chance to acquire 바카라사이트 buildings was a “once in a generation opportunity”.
“It is particularly appropriate that 바카라사이트 former headquarters of 바카라사이트 BBC World Service should now be occupied by one of 바카라사이트 country’s leading universities,” he said.
“Our campus on 바카라사이트 Strand has for too long had inadequate and cramped teaching space,” he added.
An email sent to staff said 바카라사이트 university had signed a lease for 50 years, but “intends to occupy 바카라사이트 site for a much longer period than that”.
“These prestigious buildings will provide much needed additional space for new teaching facilities and student study, as well as academic and social space,” it read.
The announcement comes two months after 바카라사이트 university ditched plans to rebrand itself as “King’s London”.
