44,000 ft²
A first outside North America
This 44,000 ft², two-phase fit-out brought to life Northeastern University's first campus outside North America. Set in Devon House, St Katharine Docks, it won Project of the Year at Mixology 2023.
Brief
A campus built for how the world learns
For this first Northeastern campus in the UK, the university wanted something entirely new. A diverse, inclusive, maximally flexible space that embodied their global approach to experiential learning. And would help a major American university feel at home inside a traditional English building.
Approach
Creating a campus hub
The project began by transforming a large open floor plate into a vibrant environment for learning, collaboration and community. A flexible framework let the space adapt to a wide range of academic and social activities.
Bringing identity to the space
We introduced a strong visual language throughout to create a distinctive sense of place. Carefully integrated graphics, finishes and architectural details reinforced the university's identity and created a more engaging experience for students and staff.
Designed for collaboration
The completed environment provides a variety of settings for learning, social interaction and informal collaboration. By creating spaces that encourage connection and knowledge sharing, the design supports a more dynamic, engaging student experience.
"We love our Workplace Creations design team! Thoughtful designs, attention to every detail, down to the smallest accessory"
Details
Biophilia, natural materials and warm, inviting tones create a campus that feels welcoming to students from every background. It’s a palette designed to put international learners at ease from day one.

A genuinely special win. Our Northeastern University project took home Project of the Year for Public Sector & Cultural Interiors at the 2023 Mixology Awards. The Mixology Awards are one of the most respected names in commercial interiors, and seeing our work for Northeastern recognised on that stage meant the world to the team.
