Attenborough Centre / 2025

What used to be called 'The Gardner Centre' was designed by Basil Spence and completed in 1969. After a major refurbishment (R H Partnership Architects, 2015) it was renamed in honour of Richard Attenborough, a former chancellor of the university. The brick cylindrical forms enclose a theatre, exhibition space, studio areas, rehearsal spaces and café bar. Grade II* listed. University of Sussex, City of Brighton & Hove, UK.
