David Game College
A full transformation of a derelict Aldgate building into a modern, vibrant and academically focused college campus
5 Floors
23 Weeks
70,000 Sq Ft
The Challenge
David Game College had outgrown its Notting Hill campus and chose to relocate to the City to support continued growth. A vacant building on Jewry Street was identified, previously used by London Metropolitan University. The building was in a poor condition and required a complete refurbishment. The work included asbestos removal and the excavation of the basement to create new dance and Pilates studios.
The Solution
We worked with the estates and operations team to shape a refurbishment that brought the building back to life and ensured it was ready for students on time. The work covered every floor and created a modern learning environment that meets the colleges academic needs and supports a wide range of teaching styles.
The Result
David Game College now has a campus they are proud of. The facilities support their teaching methods and contribute to the high levels of student success that the college is known for.
David Game College is an independent college that offers GCSE, A Level and university foundation programmes. The college has a strong record of academic achievement and supports students through personalised teaching and an encouraging environment. The new campus reflects their focus on quality, preparation and student progress.
A Building Revealing Its History
The refurbishment created two large dance studios with sprung floors. During excavation work, a section of Roman wall was discovered. This has been preserved and placed on display, along with other historic items found on site, forming part of the college history collection.
An Art Collection at the Heart of the Campus
David Game is a respected artist and collector with a collection of around two thousand pieces. Much of this collection is displayed throughout the building, giving the college a distinctive cultural character and a strong sense of identity.
