Wilkins Terrace, within the site of what is currently known as the Physics Yard, is one of the most significant part refurbishment, part new-build projects to be carried out within the UCL Bloomsbury Campus.

The job will involve building a terrace at upper ground floor level over the greater part of an existing courtyard.

The terrace will have a Portland stone floor, with a new external staircase leading to the refectory at lower ground floor level.

The terrace will be supported on columns going down to lower ground floor level, where they in turn will be supported on piled foundations.

Balfour will then construct and fully fit out a new single storey building below the terrace to house a full range of catering kitchen facilities to provide food for the new refectory

Enabling works have already begun to allow project construction to start promptly in December.
