LIGHTS...Camera...Blog

Liverpool University has done some work on its Engineering Department building on Brownlow Hill. This is another of those gems that I saw as I walked along and now occasionally when I am on my way home will walk the long way around to the station to have a look at it!

It looks as though the building has had a lighting structure slipped onto the top, the building alternates colour every few seconds and the video below intimates it can be set up for more complex displays. I have also taken some additional photos at the bottom of this post.

The video posted on Vimeo of the light show describes the remodeling of the Sheppard Robson building.





Liverpool Department of Engineering from Sheppard Robson on Vimeo.

"Sheppard Robson has completed a luminous, glass clad engineering laboratory for the University of Liverpool, a two-storey ‘Active Learning Lab’ with an outer skin of reflective and fitted glass panels that illuminate Liverpool’s skyline.

The Active Learning Lab is part naturally ventilated, floating above the existing 1960’s two-storey podium building below. The lab offers extensive views west towards the city centre, south across to the iconic brutalist Metropolitan Cathedral and north across the University campus."
