The University of Warwick’s Faculty of Arts building has been recognised by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) as a National award winner.

The £60m building forms part of Warwick University’s £100m investment into the arts and is the cornerstone of the University’s new campus arts quarter.

Designed by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, the building brings together the departments and schools of the faculty under one roof.

Providing a world-class centre for teaching and research, it includes an antiquities room, cinema, theatre studios and a media lab, along with multi-purpose events and exhibition spaces.

The Faculty of Arts welcomed over seventy school students from across Coventry and Warwickshire to its new facilities last week. Over two days the Year 12 students from Caludon Castle, Cardinal Newman and Solihull Sixth Form spent time in the new FAB building. They had taster sessions ran by academic staff, tours of the Arts Centre, Q & A ambassador session as well as time to hear from alumni. The local students also entered a creative competition where they took pictures of the new building.

There are 3 autumn 2021 in person Open Days for prospective students to come and visit the University of Warwick campus: 9 October, 23 October and 6 November. The 6 November is particularly focused on the Arts and Humanities, but if you cannot make the 6th you are very welcome to come on the other dates. Our new Arts building (FAB) is reaching completion and we hope to be able to offer tours on the 6th November.

We will have staff and students from our Arts departments available to answer questions at the Information Fairs on the 9th and 23rd October. On the 6th November we are planning a mixture of subject-based drop-ins, workshops and presentations.

Virtual Open Days with academic presentations about the courses are being held in the week 25-29 October 2021.
