From Monday 29 September until Sunday 26 October, we are consulting on our plans for a new academic building at White City Campus.
Imperial was granted Outline Planning Permission from the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham for the South Campus Masterplan, located south of the Westway (A40) in 2019 (ref. 2018/00267/OUT). This included approval for a building located close to the new bridge connecting to Wood Lane – this is the proposed location of the new academic building. We are conducting this consultation to enable Imperial to submit a Reserve Matters Planning Application to the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham later this year.

The academic building will create a powerful engine for data science, AI and machine learning by bringing together computer scientists, mathematicians and business experts at an unprecedented scale in a single dedicated building that promotes collaborative research and delivers an outstanding student experience. It will offer new facilities for research, collaboration and teaching, as well as spaces for the community. It will be a place where great ideas grow and creativity flourishes.
