"Rivington Street Studio has turned a run of the mill repair and maintenance job into an elegant refurbishment for a faded campus of the Kent Institute of Art and Design. To the college’s estate director Nick Jones, the refurbishment has been a complete success. 'It has opened up the whole campus and made it more versatile. By bringing all the shared facilities together in the centre, it has brought the college together for the first time'. The architect has managed to impose such a radical reconfiguration on the campus while still retaining its distinctive functional character".
