Project Bloomsbury Theatre Ucl We were appointed by university college london to lead the design team on the complex refurbishment of the bloomsbury theatre. the theatre is owned and operated by the university and the project required an extensive programme of improvement and renewal. Built in 1968 to the designs of james cubitt & partners, the theatre provides a unique resource for students to run extra curricular student productions and has gained a reputation in a number of fields, from student opera to innovative stand up comedy. The bloomsbury theatre and studio, part of university college london, is a landmark brutalist building that first opened in 1968. it was originally known as the central collegiate building auditorium and later the collegiate theatre. The concrete framed building was constructed in 1968 and the theatre is used for both student and professional productions. in addition to the theatre, the building contains a range of different functions including the uclu fitness centre.
