Wimbledon College of Arts has recently undergone a multimillion-pound redevelopment creating an enhanced streetscape and entrance approach, as well as a redesigned and rejuvenated Annex building frontage. The redevelopment scheme has also provided a host of new facilities including new design studios and rehearsal rooms, refurbished theatre facilities, new toilets and changing facilities, new workshop facilities and a completely refurbished library. Our facilities and workshops can now support digital theatre, immersive and mixed reality technology.
We’re incredibly excited about this new chapter for Wimbledon and are proud to share the transformation with you. Read more about our site development work.
