Margaret Street

Margaret Street is one of the most extraordinary educational environments in the country. This beautiful listed Venetian Gothic building is a fitting home for a stunning modern art school with light airy studios and cutting-edge technology and has won numerous awards for the restoration of its spectacular architecture.

Margaret St

Purpose-built for the study of art in 1844, Margaret Street is appropriately located in the city centre's museum and gallery area. While retaining the original wood interiors, stained glass windows and mosaic floors, north-facing studio lighting and splendid stairwells, Associated Architects designed and installed state-of-the-art floating mezzanine levels, glass lifts, spiral staircases, darkrooms, a canteen and specialist work spaces as part of a £5.5 million refurbishment in 1995.
