For the past decade, the university's creative hub on Stockwell Street has flourished as a cornerstone of the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences, fostering exceptional talent across disciplines including architecture, design, landscape architecture, sound, media, performance and film.
Since opening its doors in September 2014, this vibrant space has transcended its role as a mere educational facility to become a driving force for cultural innovation and urban regeneration, firmly embedding the university within Greenwich's historic town centre.
To mark this milestone, we've brought together our distinguished alumni community, industry partners, and dedicated supporters and volunteers for a special celebration. The event doubles as our annual supporter reception, offering us the opportunity to recognise our alumni's remarkable achievements and express our heartfelt appreciation to all those who have contributed to our community's success over the years.
