The LICA Building

The Design PhD Conference 2015 will be held in the LICA Building (Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts) at Lancaster University.  The LICA Building is an innovative, timber-framed building wrapped in translucent cladding which filters varying degrees of light into the interior.  It is the UK’s first higher education building project to be rated ‘outstanding’ by the environmental measure BREEAM for both design stage and post construction review.

Further information about the LICA Building can be found on the BREEAM website or the website of the architects Sheppard Robson.
