The Bernard Crossland Building, an award-winning multi-million-pound refurbishment delivered by OHMG, has been comprehensively redeveloped into a vibrant, modern centre for computing and technology. The transformation replaced the original concrete-clad façade with a colourful, transparent exterior, establishing a bold new architectural identity that reflects the innovation and creativity of the computer science discipline.
Through extensive expansion and refurbishment, the building’s footprint was doubled in size, significantly enhancing the University’s capacity for computing education and research. The revitalised four-storey structure now accommodates a wide range of advanced facilities, including:
Computer laboratories and project spaces
Breakout rooms and collaborative learning areas
A three-storey student hub
Academic and clerical offices
Dedicated postgraduate suites
This state-of-the-art learning environment provides the space and technology required to support a new generation of digital innovation and academic excellence.
The building’s design merges functionality with architectural flair, creating a light-filled and connected environment that encourages collaboration, creativity, and cross-disciplinary engagement. The use of transparent materials and bright accents symbolises openness and technological advancement — a defining feature of the University’s computing identity.
The Bernard Crossland Building stands as a testament to OHMG’s expertise in educational redevelopment, combining precision engineering, sustainable construction, and architectural vision. The project has been recognised for its innovation and impact, earning multiple industry accolades for design and delivery excellence.
