BUILDING PROJECTS


HARRIS ACADEMY SUTTON

W


ith state secondary schools in the London Borough of Sutton (LBS) experiencing an upturn in


subscriptions through recent years, the council were pushed to find a way to accommodate the growing local student population. LBS’ need neatly coincided with plans for Sutton to host the London Cancer Hub (LHC), a masterplan with the goal of


creating “a global centre for cancer innovation.” The centre which, when complete, will offer more than 280,000 m2 of integrated life-science buildings, is envisioned not only to attract a swathe of skilled scientists and leading clinicians; careful thought was also given to those already inhabiting its immediate surroundings.
