A new design studio forms part of the £3 million refurbishment and expansion of Scroope Terrace, which houses the Faculty of Architecture at Cambridge University.

The studio has high-level windows for good cross-ventilation and a water-based cooling system designed by engineering consultant Max Fordham. Other services include radiant heating and cooling from a borehole and heat pump system where water is circulated through the ceiling to absorb heat before being rejected back to the ground.
