The University of Worcester acquired the site in 2020, facilitating the expansion of their Severn Campus. Building upon previous developments such as the Riverside buildings, The Arena, The Garage, and the neighbouring Hive Library building, the masterplan for this site aims to create a vibrant campus environment, connecting St John's campus and the City via the Sabrina bridge.
Competing against architects from across the country for this masterplan, GNA’s primary focus was on maximising the existing features of Berrows House, whilst also reimagining the space. Once successful in our bid for this scheme, the formerly dim and functional paper storage and distribution areas were transformed, allowing the natural light to stream in through the north-facing roof lights.
