In its new home, the Dickson Poon School of Law now has premises fitting to its standing as one of Europe’s premier law schools and reflecting its 180 year old tradition of excellence.
King’s breathed new life into the building which has been restored to its original status as a landmark London public building, refurbished to the highest standards with its architectural harmony enhanced and public access improved.
The interior has been stripped of alterations made over the years, new lifts were installed and the basement floor lowered. Original features, such as cornices and fireplaces, have been refurbished. The interior decoration has been carefully conceived to complement the historic setting of the building. Designers have re-introduced colours in keeping with the Georgian style, whilst creating a fresh and modern interior suited to a working building for the 21st century.
The Dickson Poon School of Law enjoys state of the art teaching facilities and learning spaces as well as a dedicated Moot Court. King’s Law students have excelled at moot court competitions over the years; now this new facility will enable them to practise their courtroom performance skills in space specifically designed for this purpose.
