Phase III of Selwyn College’s Ann’s Court Development Plan involves the construction of a new 2,500m2 building that houses a Library fit for the digital age. The project comprises a mix of communal and individual spaces for students to work, and an Auditorium which would function as a flexible space with retractable tiered seating for lectures and performances.

As executive Architects, AMA Chartered Architects were appointed in 2019 to carry out the technical detailing and services coordination as well as to develop proposals for interior design and finishes.

Working closely with the College User Group, the Main Contractor and the rest of the consultants AMA ensured that the College’s requirements and expectations were captured in the construction drawings.

AMA added value to the project by addressing issues relating to Building Regulation compliance and to provide cost and time saving alternatives, without deviating from the design principles of the original design.
