Transforming Our Future

Construction on the buildings at Camberwell College of Arts began in June 2015.

The first major work on the College for over a generation, the development will reinforce Camberwell’s unique character whilst providing an inspiring London-based campus.

Built around an outdoor courtyard, students will benefit from new studios and workshops, a state-of-the-art lecture theatre, a public gallery, a new canteen and designated social spaces, student accommodation with a dedicated work zone, a well-resourced library and a fully accessible entrance.

Due to launch in September 2017, Camberwell College of Arts’ new and improved facilities will offer students and staff a world-class environment for academic, artistic and community engagement right in the heart of South London.
