Regent’s University London has been a long-standing client of ours and the Refectory Mezzanine project is one of the major projects within the Blueprint masterplan project, also being undertaken by Gunn Associates. The c-shaped mezzanine, with its own bridge-link, creates additional seating for students and provides a variety of different spaces for relaxing and studying. The mezzanine floor has more relaxed seating than the main room, below, with table nests also placed along the bridge link between the two halves.
The original refectory was constructed in the 1950’s in the Art deco style and includes features such as the dramatic wall frieze and deco-style door arches.
Gunn’s design positions a delicate, contemporary, insertion that keeps the emphasis on the original double-height space. The flowing nature of the mezzanine contrasts with the rectangular shape of the refectory. The new level is enhanced by a guarding constructed from self-supporting upright glulam posts.

EDUCATION PROJECTS
We have worked with several higher and secondary educational establishments on the masterplanning and realisation of their capital projects. Our proven strategy is to embed ourselves into the culture of the client’s establishment, and this has shown itself to produce considered solutions appropriate to the budget and programme. We provide services including masterplanning and strategic programmes, bespoke design solutions, fabric surveying and maintenance programmes, and fire strategies. We communicate with governing bodies, management teams, and trustee boards, as well as landlords and estates owners. We work through all project stages from feasibility to completion.
