Bloomsbury Theatre: Building UCL- From Foundation Stone to Future Sustainability
Where: Bloomsbury Theatre,15 Gordon St, London WC1H 0AH
When: Monday, 22 June 2026, 6:30pm
Presented by the Survey of London, The Bartlett School of Architecture
Part of UCL200, University College London’s bicentennial celebrations
This year’s Survey of London annual event marks the launch of its latest monograph, University College London: The Bloomsbury Campus, as part of UCL’s bicentennial celebrations. The new volume provides the first comprehensive account of the university’s buildings and evolution from 1826 to the present day, bringing to light a complex and engaging architectural story from foundation stone to future sustainability.
At the heart of the event is a conversation with architects who are shaping the university’s physical fabric and identity. Led by the architect and Bartlett Associate Professor Jane Wong, and including key architectural practices such as Burwell Architects, Nicholas Hare Architects, DSDHA and Donal Insall Associates, the conversation will consider the challenges and opportunities of working with historic buildings and settings, offering insights into recent and current projects, and imagining future possibilities.
The event will be introduced by Professor Jacqui Glass, Dean of the Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment; Professor Dame Hazel Genn, UCL Pro-Provost (Bicentennial); and the Survey of London’s Director, Colin Thom. The evening also celebrates the work of students on the Architecture & Historic Urban Environments MA at the Bartlett School of Architecture, inviting them to reflect on their experiences of learning and life on UCL’s campus.
All profits from the event will go to the New Horizon Youth Centre, based near the university in King’s Cross, which supports young people who are homeless or unsafe in London.
