BBC BUILDING : LEEDS
Client : BBC / Leeds College of Music
Described as a ‘distinctive piece of 21st Century architecture’ by the Leeds Civic Trust, this award winning building provides facilities for the BBC and Leeds College of Music.
The structure itself houses 23,000 sq ft of high specification offices and studio space for the BBC, alongside a 360 seat auditorium for Leeds College of Music. Located in an emerging quarter of the city, the building combines the needs of both end-users and makes a positive contribution to the Leeds skyline – with a newly created public square greatly enhancing the general amenity in this area of Leeds.
