Client

University of Wolverhampton: a large UK university offering undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses in health, education, business, and arts

Approach

The Walsall identity was clear from the outset of the exercise. Heavily linked with performance and sport, the theme of ‘play’ seemed a clear choice. 

Much of the approach to the landscape centred on rationalising parking and key entrances, creating a legible landscape that provides a sequence of spaces which link the experience and uplift the spirit. 

Impact

Once this framework was established, we could integrate key ideas such as a play hub to enliven and activate the performance hub frontage, and a trail around the perimeter of the campus for health and wellbeing.
