About the University

Historical Timeline

1825: The Huddersfield Scientific and Mechanics Institute is founded, which the University of Huddersfield can trace its roots back to.

The aim of the institute was for “the supplying at a cheap rate, the different classes of the community, with the advantage of instruction in the various branches of science and the useful arts”. It was funded by donors and subscribers, led by Sir John Ramsden.(Connell, 1992)

1883: Huddersfield Technical School and Mechanics’ Institution is opened on Queen Street South in what is now known as the Ramsden Building, following £15,500 being raised, including £2000 from the Clothworkers’ Company based in London. The new institution is governed by an educational trust. (Connell, 1992)

1958: The Huddersfield Technical College is succeeded by the College of Technology. (Connell, 1992)

1992: After the passage of the ‘Further and Higher Education Act 1992’, Polytechnic universities became independent and Huddersfield Polytechnic became the University of Huddersfield.

(University of Huddersfield, 2012)

1841: The Young Men’s Mental Improvement Society is started at the Temperance Hotel, Cross Church Street.

(University of Huddersfield, 2013) 1844: The Young Men’s Mental Improvement Society becomes the Huddersfield Mechanic’s Institution. (University of Huddersfield, 2013)

1846: A Female Educational Institute is established and Huddersfield claims the distinction of being the first to have an institute “organised and managed on a separate and independent basis, for the education of the young women of the working classes” (University of Huddersfield, 2013)

1896: The Huddersfield Technical School and Mechanics’ Institution becomes the Huddersfield Technical College. (Connell, 1992)

1970: In 1968 the Secretary of State announces that he is prepared to designate the College of Technology, along with Oastler College, as a Polytechnic. In 1970 the Polytechnic is instituted and the official designation ceremony is performed on 23 April 1971. At it’s opening, there were 1540 full-time and around 2000 part-time students. (Connell, 1992)

2012: The University of Huddersfield wins Entrepreneurial University of the Year (University of Huddersfield, 2012) 2013: In November the University of Huddersfield becomes the Times Higher Education University of the Year (University of Huddersfield, 2013)

About the University

University Demographics These demographics show a break down of the students at the University. The important statistics show the existing department sizes and also the dramatic trend in the increase of International Students.

Mitchell Hattersley | Imad Amjad

Current Issues

The Ring Road One of the main issues that the current campus has is the physical barrier created by the Ring Road. It segregates the campus from the town due to it’s heavy vehicular usage. On an average weekday, 34,500 vehicles use the stretch in front of the campus. (Urbed, 2009) This makes it hard for pedestrians to cross and also stops the University expanding and integrating into the Town.

It has been suggested that most of the traffic using the Ring Road isn’t trying to get into Huddersfield, it is just that the Ring Road is the quickest route to get to transport links such as the M62 & the M1.

Mitchell Hattersley | Imad Amjad

Current Issues

Grouping of Departments There is currently a lack of coherence and grouping of departments across the campus.

Departments are spread out and disjointed. For example, Art, Design & Architecture currently occupy two opposite ends of the campus plan.

The canal also poses a problem as there are limited crossing points and so the campus appears to be split into two parts.

Mitchell Hattersley | Imad Amjad

Current Issues

Axes & Central Hub The current Axes through the University aren’t dominant or efficient, most are greeted with buildings blocking them. It is obvious that routes through the campus weren’t masterplanned and that it is the result of building on whatever land was available at the time.

The lack of clear axes also makes travel times longer when walking through the campus and new or prospective students may find it easy to get lost.

Another issue is that what is currently called Central Services, is no longer central on the campus, meaning some students and staff have to travel a lot further to use the library or to attend meetings.

Mitchell Hattersley | Imad Amjad

Current Issues

Lack of Green Space Across the campus there is a distinct lack of usable green space. Even in open areas there is limited green landscaping.

Mitchell Hattersley | Imad Amjad

Current Issues

The TA Centre In the centre of the campus lies the TA Centre.

Not owning this land presents a problem to the University as it limits potential development and expansion. Any construction has to go around it. It also means that the current Axis has to be maintained to provide a road that connects the TA Centre to the Ring Road.

Mitchell Hattersley | Imad Amjad

Current Issues

The Student Union On most University campuses, the Students Union Bar is the social hub on campus. Recently the Students Union lost its bar on campus, which is a definite downgrade in facilities when compared to other Universities across the country, much to the annoyance of many students. For example, here are just a few selections of quotes that students have posted on the various facebook pages and petitions against the bar closing down.

Mitchell Hattersley | Imad Amjad

Aims & Objectives

- Implement a policy of spatial coherence and improve quality, effectiveness and efficiency by concentrating schools in services in single areas of the campus.

- Create a sustainable environment.

- Become ranked as an outstanding international university.

- Encourage sustainable travel - Promote Active Energy Measures such as natural ventilation, heat recovery etc. For example, currently 38% of the campus is cooled using canal water.

- Increase the generation and use of renewable energy

University of Huddersfield

Here are the Aims, Missions and Objectives taken from across the University of Huddersfield website.

(University of Huddersfield, 2013)

- Improve the thermal efficiency of buildings - Reduce emissions by using the campus more intensely

Mitchell Hattersley | Imad Amjad

Aims & Objectives

The University of Huddersfield impressed the judges with a UK first in teaching excellence, the establishment of a new innovation centre, and continued commitment to being “a university that is at the heart of its home town”.

Huddersfield’s official vision is: “To be an inspiring, innovative university of international renown.”

The university created the 3M Buckley Innovation Centre in collaboration with conglomerate 3M to foster business partnerships leading to new research, technology transfer and entrepreneurial ideas.

The university’s quadrupling of international income since 2008 was this year recognised by a Queen’s Award for Enterprise – International Trade, and also a top 10 position in the 2012 International Student Barometer.

And as for inspiring, the university’s strategy for enhancing excellence in teaching and learning saw it set a bold target for 100 per cent of academic staff to achieve fellow­ship of the Higher Education Academy. Huddersfield rose to the challenge – in 2012, it became the first and only university in the UK to attain that goal, described as a “remarkable achievement” by the head of the HEA.

THE Awards 2013

John Gill, Times Higher Education editor, said: “Huddersfield shone through in the toughest of categories on the strength of an exceptional year.”

In 2013, the University of Huddersfield won the Times Higher Education (THE) Award for the University of the Year.

The university’s achievements, he continued, “were backed up by impressive figures for both student satisfaction and employability, and a clear sense that Huddersfield is a university that is at the heart of its home town, as well as making a very real contribution to the wider region, the higher education sector, and country as a whole”.

Here is the statement that THE gave explaining why the University of Huddersfield won.

(Times Higher Education, 2013)

Mitchell Hattersley | Imad Amjad

Aims & Objectives

- Focus on a polycentric and radial plan, grouping departments together in order to achieve a better work flow and improve efficiency across the campus.

- Create a ‘Central Hub’ and axes towards each department, bringing the campus together.

- Look in to the possibility of providing sheltered circulation routes.

- Remove the boundary of the Ring Road in order to integrate the campus with the town and then also divert traffic from further afield in order to alleviate some of the stress from the Ring Road.

Our Aims

- An enhanced & dominant new entrance to the University from town, to greet and impress visitors and prospective students.

A list of our key aims for the masterplan of the University of Huddersfield Campus.

- Develop more green space and meeting points.

- Encourage walking, cycling and car sharing.

- Increase sustainability throughout the campus.

- Put the University of Huddersfield on the map architecturally, helping to attract more students. A recent survey by Which? magazine states that 58% of International students find the design and quality of facilities important when choosing a University to study at. (Which?, 2014)

Initial Ideas & Development

Buildings to Demolish We propose to demolish the following buildings for the accompanying reasons: Technology Building - It’s a single storey building that takes up a huge footprint upon the campus. It’s reaching the end of its life cycle and is currently on its third roof.

Harold Wilson Building - It’s a very bland and generic building. It doesn’t make a huge impression upon people, which is bad as it is located at the entrance node to the university.

Z-Block & Old SU - Located upon the centre of the campus, which is a perfect location for a new centralised hub. The West building contains aging fixtures and fittings.

TA Centre - Whilst it has a nice front facade, the rest of the building is mostly single storey and a waste of space. It’s central location means that it would be better suited to making way for a new central Hub. Faith Centre - Currently made up of portacabins and is quite an insulting space given the importance many people place upon their religion.

The building should reflect this importance.

Queen Street Studios - An old office converted into a make shift studio space, which in our opinion doesn’t work for numerous reasons.

One of which being a major lack of space.

Science Building - Whilst it does have a nice central atrium and is reminiscent of an inverted Pompidou Centre, it is an aging building and it is also in a space that could provide a much better entrance into the campus.

Multi-Storey Car Park - Brutal and ugly.

Half of the Market - The market has a magnificent roof structure, however this only spans half of the market space. Demolishing the other half would provide a better axis into the campus.

Mitchell Hattersley | Imad Amjad

Initial Ideas & Development

Buildings to Keep We propose to keep the following buildings for the accompanying reasons: Creative Arts Building - Although the entrance and circulation needs tweaking, the rooms and studio spaces work really well for creative thinking. They have good ceiling heights, lots of natural lighting and is a nice environment to work in.

Central Services Building - This building is in desperate need of a renovation, but it provides great views out of the town and campus. It is quite an iconic building for the university, as its height means it is usually the first university building that people catch a glimpse of.

Business School - A new building that works well for its purposes. The business school has seen a significant growth since this buildings opening.

Canalside & Lockside - Listed Mills that represent the industrial past of the town. The spaces inside also work really well.

Ramsden Building - Where it all began, the University can trace its origins back to this building.

Milton Building - Currently works well as a space for Drama students.

Bath House - Listed St Pauls Hall - Listed Sir John Ramsden Building - Listed The Market - The roof structure is one of a kind and converting the use of this building in to a university building would link and integrate the campus with the town more.

Mitchell Hattersley | Imad Amjad

Initial Ideas & Development

Departmental Layout Idealistically our initial aim is to introduce a radial plan to the campus, which groups departments into 7 distinct areas. These areas would then share lecture and seminar space with the departments either side of them. This layout would also allow departments such as Art, Design & Architecture and Engineering to integrate and work together more.

All 7 departments would be connected to a Central Hub that contains the Library, offices, student services and general work space.

Mitchell Hattersley | Imad Amjad

Initial Ideas & Development

Introducing New Axes With the idea of a radial plan and the Ring Road sunken to a tunnel, new axes need to be introduced. Two new major axes will be created, one running North-South and the other West-East. The market place will become the new entrance to the university due to its prime location between town and campus. The structure will be stripped back and the space will become a reception, security hub and an exhibition space demonstrating what the university does.

Items such as Formula Student cars, models from the Architecture department, clothes from the Fashion department and art pieces from Contemporary Art can be proudly displayed in order to show prospective students that this is what we are capable of.

The other major axis is running North-South and will be another entrance route. This axis will also be for emergency vehicles to gain access to the centre.

The yellow minor axes then represent routes between department areas.

Mitchell Hattersley | Imad Amjad

Initial Ideas & Development

Organic Skin With buildings demolished and new axes introduced, we looked at how to connect the rest of the campus and the possibility of sheltered circulation.

The initial idea was to take the existing buildings as node points and introduce the notion of an organic fluid to the Central Hub. We worked with the idea that the node points would be repellants and this viscous liquid would spill out inhabiting the free space. Like ink being dropped in to water, or slime growing in a petri dish. The shape that emerged would become a skin that would shelter the circulation throughout the campus.

Mitchell Hattersley | Imad Amjad

Initial Ideas & Development

Organic Skin The new axes can then cut through this skin, creating glazed areas, allowing plenty of light into the sheltered area.

Mitchell Hattersley | Imad Amjad

Initial Ideas & Development

Conceptual Structure We then started to investigate the possible options for the structure of the skin. Using the market ‘mushroom’ structures as inspiration we looking to created similar ‘mushrooms’ that can act as lightwells as well as the structure.

Departmental Growth Before designing the massing for each department, we needed to figure out the areas that each department requires. First we looked at how much area they all currently have. Next, taking statistics from PINS, we looked at the applications against acceptances for department for the past 5 years.

This allowed us to see how each department has grown and also how the percentage of acceptances has changed.

We then took the highest percentage of acceptances and used this with recent application numbers to estimate a rough maximum of new students per year.

Taking this new number and multiplying it by the current Area per Student, gives the new required floor areas.

Initial Ideas & Development

Introducing a Tower After speaking to members of staff in the offices and the Library, we came to the conclusion that Central Services requires an increase in space.

Offices are currently full and have had to overspill out in to other areas, and the library requires more room for group studying and resources. This means that a new tower needs to be created at the new Central Hub. This tower will punch through the organic skin that was created in order to provide sheltered circulation and connect the university. The skin will surround the tower but not actually touch it, allowing plenty of light to flood in to the space around it.

The location of the new tower corresponds with the view of the rising spire from St Pauls Hall and Castlehill watching afar upon a hill top.

Mitchell Hattersley | Imad Amjad

Initial Ideas & Development

The Ideas Factory The shape of the tower has been informed by the notion that the university itself is an Ideas Factory. It suggests a gesture towards the industrialised past of Huddersfield.

Like a chimney stack rising up out of a mill, the tower rises through the skin and above the university, only instead of releasing puffs of smoke, it generates and emits knowledge and ideas.

To prospective or new students arriving at the university , it suggests a heirachy of elitism. As they enter the university their ideas and knowledge grows and climbs the tower before being emitted from the top.

The programming of the tower includes a new and improved library that provides a fountain of knowledge that acts as the fuel.

The tower will also feature a new office for the Vice-Chancellor, from which he can observe and look down upon the domain of knowledge, watching the ideas grow and propagate.

Precedents

Gridshell Skin Here are some precedents that show the type of structure the skin could have and the spaces that it could potentially create.

A gridshell skin would allow for the spaces between the frame to be interchangable, meaning some could be sheltered, some could be glazed and some areas could be left open to create courtyards within.

Mitchell Hattersley | Imad Amjad

Case Study

University of Exeter:

The Forum

The Forum was designed as the new campus centrepiece for the University of Exeter by Wilkinson Eyre Architects, completed in 2012.

The scheme is essentially a central hub for the university and accommodates the library, learning spaces, student services, catering and some retail outlets.

A core feature of the design is the undulating timber gridshell roof, which shelters and unifies the new student-focused spaces within. The triangulated structure allows some panels to be opened up and glazed, flooding the spaces below with an abundance of natural light.

The project was also successful sustainably, as it achieved a BREEAM Excellent accreditation.

(Wilkinson Eyre Architects, 2012)

Mitchell Hattersley | Imad Amjad

Case Study

Olympiapark München Designed by Gunther Behnisch and Frei Otto for the 1972 Munich Olympics, the Olympiapark features a pioneering lightweight tensile and membrane roof structure.

The architects conceptualised a “sweeping tensile structure that would flow continuously over the site, imitating the draping and rhythmic protrusions of the Swiss Alps.” (Archdaily, 2011) This resulted in

a suspended structure that appears to float and drape over the site, bridging all of the buildings together.

The structure of the roof has a heirarchical system. The membrane is suspended from vertical masts which allow for “the dramatic draping curves of the surface to flow dynamically across the site changing form, scale, and sectional characteristics.” (Archdaily, 2011)

The roof is then stabilised laterally by a network of smaller cables, attached to larger steel cables that extend over the entire span into concrete footings at both ends.

The roof itself is clad with acrylic glass panels, reflecting the light, the sky and the surrounding landscape.

(Archdaily, 2011)

Mitchell Hattersley | Imad Amjad

Case Study

Centre Pompidou Designed by Shigeru Ban and Jean De Gastine Architectes with Gumuchdjian Architects in 2010, the Centre Pompidou is an art gallery built as part of a regeneration scheme in a rundown area of Metz.

A giant woven timber roof canopy oversails three rectangular galleries that are stacked and extruded in different directions. The woven roof allows for the huge gallery spaces to be columnless and helps to provide panoramic views out of the building.

The vast space underneath the shell is naturally ventilated and a unheated space enclosed by polycarbonate walls.

Mitchell Hattersley | Imad Amjad

Final Design

Massing Plan The new plan features a radial plan, centered around a new Hub. Each department is grouped into areas, sharing lecture and seminar space with the departments next to it.

Art, Design & Architecture has moved to the north of the campus, occupying the Creative Arts building and changing the old Central Services Building into an Arts Tower. Taking inspiration from the Arts Tower in Sheffield, Architecture will occupy the top floors, looking out upon the campus, feeding on the creativity rising from the Ideas Factory.

The Business School has maintained its position in the Business School and a new Law School has emerged, helping to connect the department with the rest of the campus.

Engineering remains in Canalside West & East.

It also takes over Lockside and will also occupy part of the new Arts Tower, as it will share the Northern Research Hub with Art, Design & Architecture.

Applied Sciences and Human & Health Sciences will occupy new buildings to the south east of the Central Hub. They will share lecture and seminar space.

Music, Humanities & Media will stay in the Milton Building, whilst also occupying the Ramsden Building and a new building to the south.

The Ramsden building will be good for music as the shapes and scale of the rooms will make for good instrument practice spaces. St Pauls Hall will also be used for musical concerts and the music society.

Mitchell Hattersley | Imad Amjad

Final Design

Massing Plan The Market Place becomes the new entrance to the campus and features a bridged link directly into the Central Hub of the university.

Next to the Market Place a new Gym & Sports Hall will be constructed. This leads to the possibility of the factories to the south being turned into sports fields for football and rugby.

A new Students Union will occupy the space between the campus and the town. The idea of this is that it bridges the campus and town together. Students can stop for a bite to eat or a quick drink whilst passing through the thresholds of town and campus.

Education & Professional Development and the International School occupy positions next to the Central Hub, connecting everyone together.

Old student central becomes a Research Hub & Exhibition space shared between Art, Design & Architecture and Engineering, allowing for joint ventures such as large scale 3D printing, like the futureLAB project and the chance to develop construction technology and the way that we design and construct. The facade of the sports hall that faces the ring road could be opened up allowing the public to become intrigued and curious about what is going on. The hall would also make a great exhibition space for end of year shows.

Mitchell Hattersley | Imad Amjad

Final Design

Tower Programming The base of the tower will feature a new and improved Library and central services space.

Certain areas will also feature coffee shops and cafes serving light snacks.

Above this will be a new Faith Centre.

Offices will occupy 15 floors of the tower, with the Vice-Chancellors office positioned on top of these.

At the very top of the tower will be PHD Research space, playing with the concept of knowledge rising to the top of the tower.

Mitchell Hattersley | Imad Amjad

Final Design

The Market Hall These images show the Market Hall before and after. We intend to strip back the structure, whilst also landscaping a new entrance to the campus from the town.

Mitchell Hattersley | Imad Amjad

Final Design

Plan of Skin The skin provides shelter for the majority of the campus, allowing students and staff to access the Central Hub without battling the elements.

The skin will bring plenty of natural light in and the interior will be landscaped to provide plenty of green space and the idea and notion of being outside.

Mitchell Hattersley | Imad Amjad

Final Design

Skin Structure The skin utilises a gridshell structure that emerges from the ground via mushroom like stalks. These stalks will have three scenarios, one will feature the stalks emerging between buildings, another will feature the stalk emerging from within a building and finally some stalks will form the structure of buildings.

Mitchell Hattersley | Imad Amjad

Final Design

View to Central Hub The panels between the gridshell of the skin can be left open, glazed or covered, allowing varying levels of natural light in.

Underneath it helps to connect the departments, everyone shares the same experience, they feel connected in the space, no matter where on campus they are.
