An inspirational new space for teaching and learning is now available in one of the top architectural libraries in the world - the RIBA British Architectural Library (BAL).

The Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning through Design (CETLD|) Bene Education Room creates new possibilities in the way the BAL's collections of around four million photographs, drawings, archives and books can be accessed. A unique educational resource, the room will adapt to provide a place for students to study together and lecturers to develop collections-based learning. It will also be available as a space for newly qualified architects to meet and discuss ideas. 

The CETLD Bene Education Room is a flexible space which can transform from a seminar room to a studio with projection facilities; state-of-the-art resources include magnetic walls, interactive boards, video conferencing equipment, and computers with the latest CAD technology. Furnishings, generously provided by the innovative office and interiors expert Bene|, enliven this unique space for teaching and learning
