campus threshold filled with organically connected convening spaces, light and greenery. We’re collaborating with a fantastic project team to ensure this project supports LSE’s sustainability goals and world-leading academic mission.” Tarek Merlin, co-founder and director


of Feix&Merlin Architects, said: “We’re so proud to announce that Alison Brooks Architects and Feix&Merlin have been selected as the winning team for the reinvention of 61 Aldwych (61A) for LSE. This is a landmark moment for us – our biggest project to date. Our vision for this major heritage retrofit and next- generation learning environment was shaped through the lens of biophilic design – could this be LSE’s greenest building yet?” According to Julian Robinson, LSE’s


Director of Estates, the team’s “genuinely collaborative” dynamic and holistic approach to biophilic design principles stood out: “The commitment to re-use and a relatively light but impactful intervention into the fabric, was appreciated – not just in terms of economy but also


sustainability. The wholehearted embrace of integrated biophilic design, using specialist consultants, was distinctive and convincing and will create a new typology for social learning space at LSE.” Robinson also praised the scheme’s


‘well-considered link through to LSE’s Old Building and the suggestion of additional links on the upper floors.’ The project is scheduled to start on


site in autumn 2027, with completion expected in 2028.
