Consultation opens for new White City building

Imperial is consulting on its plans for a new academic building at White City campus from Monday 29th September to Sunday 26th October. The College was granted Outline Planning Permission, an initial approval step that opens the way to the submission of more detailed plans.

The new building will offer “new facilities for research, collaboration and teaching” bringing together “computer scientists, mathematicians and business experts.”

Two public drop-in events will be held at White City campus, one from 5pm-8pm on 7th October in the School of Public Health, and the other from 10am-1pm on 11th October in Brickfields Hall. Three sessions for Imperial staff and students will also be held on 7th, 9th, and 16th October.

Email feedback is welcome until Sunday 26th October 2025 at whitecity.development@imperial.ac.uk.
