EDU: University of Birmingham - 3 Centenary Square

USE: From The University of Birmingham, 3 Centenary Square (old Municipal Bank), a Grade II-listed building at the heart of Birmingham, will see refurbishment works and a change of use to a mixed use scheme.

The development will become a UoB City Centre campus, accommodating a year-round public programme, an incubator hub for student and graduate start-up businesses and a range of collaborative spaces for research, policy development and a new leadership Institute.

The building will see the removal of the south elevation facing onto the newly created Bank Court public space, and replaced with a new southern extension, with roof canopy and second floor terraces. A newly raised roof light will also be incorporated into the redevelopment.

The Bank’s heritage spaces, which include the vaults and the former banking hall, are to be meticulously refurbished and re-opened to the public with events, exhibitions, workshops, performances and café space.
