School of Art, Margaret Street

Home of the School of Art, Margaret Street is one of the most beautiful and 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.

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 – as a part of the £5.5 million refurbishment programme in 1995 – state-of-the-art floating mezzanine levels, glass lifts, spiral staircases, darkrooms, canteen and specialist work spaces. It is a perfect marriage.
