The Frederick Lanchester Building

The Frederick Lanchester Building (Coventry)


This was the University £20m Library project, which is an unusual building visible from the inner ringroad. It has won awards for its highly innovative interior design which features a light distribution system to make the most of natural light throughout the building.

This modern university library has won awards for its style and energy efficiency. Lenses in the 'towers' direct natural light into the heart of the building and provide ventilation.
