Concept to Completion (February)
Barbara Hepworth Building, University of Huddersfield, designed by AHR
Home to the University of Huddersfield’s School of Art, Design and Architecture, the Barbara Hepworth Building unites all creative disciplines in a single building. Flexible studios and interconnected spaces combine traditional craft with digital technologies, fostering collaboration and innovation. Generous glazing and carefully planned circulation promote interaction and flood the building with natural light. The building also supports the wider community, welcoming local businesses and the public for exhibitions and events. Materials and services were procured locally, contributing to the regional economy and reflecting the building’s role as both an educational and community-focused hub.
