LSE and RCS complete purchase of Nuffield Building
The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) have announced that they have achieved contract completion on the purchase of Nuffield Building.
The building, currently part of the RCS headquarters, will be transferred to LSE following the completion of the redevelopment of the RCS’s ‘Barry-designed’ building in 2020.
The Nuffield Building will enable the school to use the building’s almost 93,000 square foot of additional space to improve the student experience, offering new facilities and enhancing the teaching and learning environment.
Julian S. Robinson, LSE director of estates, said: “We are delighted to have agreed this purchase from our long-term neighbours. This strategically important acquisition further reinforces the School’s presence on Lincoln’s Inn Fields and will help us realise our ambition of creating a ‘world class’ estate. Together with the planned development of the Marshall Building, the acquisition of the Nuffield contributes to our state-of-the-art infrastructure in central London, supporting and sustaining LSE as a world-leader in social science education for generations to come.”
Andrew Reed, chief executive of the Royal College of Surgeons, said: “This is an exciting time for everyone at the RCS, and we are pleased that the sale of the long-term leasehold of Nuffield building to the LSE has now completed. This is another step on the RCS’s path to becoming a modern home for surgical excellence in the UK and across the world.”
