Margaret Street
Home of the School of Art, Margaret Street is one of the most beautiful
and extraordinary educational environments
in the country. This beautifully-listed Venetian
Gothic building is a fitting home for a stunning
modern art school with light airy studios and
cutting-edge technology.
Purpose-built for the study of art in 1844,
Margaret Street is appropriately located in
the city centre’s museum and gallery area.
Whilst retaining the original wood interiors,
stained glass windows and mosaic floors,
north facing studio lighting and splendid
stairwells, Associated Architects designed
and installed - as a part of the £5.5 million
refurbishment programme in 1995 – state-ofthe-
art floating mezzanine levels, glass lifts,
spiral staircases, darkrooms, canteen and
specialist work spaces. It is a perfect marriage.
