Lancaster University - Under Construction - Alexandra Square

Some footage of the construction of Alexandra Square and the Underpass.
The architects Peter Shepherd and Gabriel Epstein designed the University and its buildings so that they would absorb as much natural light as possible. Greenery was also important, seen most typically in the designs of County college and Cartmel.
The buildings were designed in order to be as multi functional as possible. According to Epstein, they would fulfill "a fruit salad of functions" and there would be no segregation of different buildings. From afar, it was hoped that the campus would look like a Mediterranean hill top village.
