Work to begin on FCBStudios’ ‘world class’ campus at University of Bristol
Designed by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios (FCBStudios), Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus is the most signifi cant development in the recent history of the University of Bristol. Work on the total £500m scheme will get underway this month after the university signed contracts with construction company Sir Robert McAlpine. The project represents “a major engagement in the city,” said the practice, redeveloping a prominent, but long-derelict, brownfi eld site adjacent to Bristol Temple Meads train station. “Through ecologically sensitive public realm, community engagement, and new city connections, the campus will become an integral part of Bristol and the signifi cant regeneration to the east of the city,” said FCBStudios. Opening in 2026, the campus at Cattle Market Road, next to the rail station, will “enhance the University of Bristol’s reputation as a global destination for world- leading research, education and innovation.” The site will be home to 4,600 students and 650 university staff, with residential accommodation on Temple Island providing living space for around 900 students.
APPOINTMENTS
HOK names Hoisington and Williams as co-CEOs replacing Bill Hellmuth
Global architecture practice HOK has appointed Eli Hoisington and Susan Klumpp Williams as its new co-chief executive offi cers, succeeding Bill Hellmuth who passed away on 6 April, shortly after his scheduled retirement. Hoisington and Klumpp Williams, who have served as interim co-CEOs since Hellmuth went on medical leave in May 2022, bring a “fresh yet familiar perspective to HOK’s leadership,” said
the practice. They have previously led two of the fi rm’s largest offi ces and are long standing executive committee members. Hoisington, the design principal in
St. Louis, USA, and Klumpp Williams, the managing principal in Washington, D.C., have collaborated closely with Hellmuth in the past. “They will work with HOK’s board to steer the fi rm’s design vision, business strategy and operations.”
HOK president Carl Galioto praised their appointment, stating: “Combining Eli’s design expertise and Susan’s business acumen in this new co-CEO leadership structure will drive HOK’s evolution as a more diverse, collaborative and international design fi rm.”
At the heart of the campus – on the site of the former Royal Mail sorting offi ce – a 38,000 m2 academic building will be home to the University’s Business School, digital engineering research groups, Centre for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, the Quantum Technologies Innovation Centre, and provide dedicated facilities for enterprise and community partners. Sited on a “car-free campus” and designed for long life and future adaptability, the scheme is designed to BREEAM ‘Excellent’. The demolition spoil has been reused to raise
the ground level above fl ooding, while 50% of the building’s materials will be sourced from a 30 mile radius. Sensitive planting and habitat will support and nurture the ecology of the Floating Harbour. Approximately 22% of the building’s regulated energy consumption will be generated on-site from renewable sources, and a further 1,400 MWh will be exported annually to a new district heating network.
