UEA: Teaching wall

The teaching wall is a 450m-long, six-storey block at the University of East Anglia - arranged as a single long spine. Designed by architect Denys Lasdun in the 1960s.

 

Lasdun "...hugged the lines of the contours with long, narrow buildings which also achieved a vertical segregation, with pedestrians on an upper walkway system and vehicles on the ground below. The walkways resemble a street, with the teaching facilities to one side and the residential blocks on the other, slung between the entrance square of communal buildings at one end..."
