Further high-tech facilities at Here East include environmental chambers and structural testing rigs, robotic cells and fabrication equipment. These have been designed to operate in tandem with our existing workshop facilities in Bloomsbury, allowing The Bartlett to offer its students an even broader architectural education.

“Here East presents The Bartlett School of Architecture not only with a new space, but also a new way of working.ÌýI am delighted that in an age when a multidisciplinary approach is needed across the global architectural, construction and environmental industries, we are able to teach and study in a truly multidisciplinary space.
