The Peter de Wint Building, an extension of the Nicola de la Haye Building, both of which are the home to the School of Art, Architecture & Design, and the home of the Media Archive for Central England. At the University of Lincoln, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.

 

Peter de Wint who while living in Lincoln was a pronoment English landscape painter in the 16th and 17th Century. Some of his work are on display in the National Gallery, the Victoria and Albert Museum and The Collection in Lincoln

 

The building replicates this ethos of passing on the torch, by being a tribute to the original building it is extending from.

 

The University was awarded Gold – the highest standard possible - in the national Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) award in 2017, an independent assessment of teaching quality in UK higher education. The University states that this award reflects their “exciting teaching, great support for students and excellent employment outcomes”.

 

The School of Art, Architecture & Design say how “this can be demonstrated by an impressive number of our students annually winning international design awards, such as the RSA Student Design Awards and D&AD New Blood Awards. Our innovative ‘Student as Producer’ initiative offers students the opportunity to engage in real academic research and external professional projects.”
