SUMMARY
1.1 Introduction
UCL East & Olympicopolis
Community consultation
UCL (University College London) is in
partnership with the London Legacy
Development Corporation (LLDC) to
establish a new university campus,
UCL East, at Queen Elizabeth
Olympic Park.
As part of the LDA masterplanning
team, Soundings have been
appointed by LLDC and UCL to
carry out community consultation
to inform development of the
masterplan for UCL East. The aims of
this process are to:
Together with Stratford Waterfront,
UCL East is part of the Olympicopolis
project. This will see a world class
education and cultural district
clustered around the Stadium,
ArcelorMittal Orbit and the London
Aquatics Centre (see page 15 for
more details).
This forms part of the legacy
transformation of Queen Elizabeth
Olympic Park into a new, diverse
and vibrant part of London.
The development of masterplans
for both sites commenced in 2015.
This will be followed by more
detailed design into 2016. Planning
applications for Olympicopolis are
anticipated for late 2016.
• Raise awareness of the project
and masterplan development.
• Gather aspirations and
understand key issues with
regard to the UCL East
masterplan - both for the local
community and UCL student and
staff community.
• Be inclusive, accessible,
transparent and engaging.
• Facilitate a variety of different
ways for people to get involved.
• Clearly communicate the
feedback from the community
to UCL, LLDC and the
masterplanning team.
This report documents the activities,
findings and outcomes from the first
stage of the consultation process
and will inform the Statement of
Community Involvement to be
submitted as part of the future
Olympicopolis planning application.

STAGE 1 CONSULTATION REPORT
1.2 Summary of events &
involvement
The first stage of consultation took
place between June and August
2015. Alongside raising awareness
of the project, this stage has been
focused on gaining an understanding
of both UCL and local community
issues and aspirations for UCL
East; as well as introducing the
masterplan principles for feedback.
Findings from engagement will
test the early masterplan concepts
and help inform development of
the draft masterplan, which will be
further consulted upon.
During the first stage of
consultation, there have been 16
different events, involving and
engaging approximately 800 people
in a variety of ways, see page 22 for
an in-depth timeline of events.
Event information has been
circulated to over 21,000 local
residents and businesses, alongside
information available on the project
web pages.

KEY
Birds-eye view looking west over the UCL East site
Overall there has been a positive
response to the prospect of a new
university at Queen Elizabeth
Olympic Park. Key areas of feedback
have related to both the physical
masterplan and some of the long
term activities and opportunities of
the university.
UCL EAST SITE
At this stage, feedback will help
inform the emerging masterplan.
It will also act as a reference for
later stages of the project that can

UCL EAST
STAGE 1 CONSULTATION REPORT
1.3 Synopsis of findings
Headline findings
• Have inclusive, involving and inviting public space that embraces
learning and exchange for all - with intuitive and clear routes and
levels of access.
• Ensure welcoming pedestrian and cycle access with an iconic
‘front door’ linking local routes. Montfichet Road is currently a
poor pedestrian experience.
• Have a community-facing university with visible public access
balanced with security needs and expectations of paying students.
• Be visible from the outset, work with local groups / schools and
provide a programme of activities to increase access to, and
familiarity with, education.
• Have high standards of design, retaining key views using Park
venues as a benchmark for height. Architectural cohesion with
existing venues at the Park and an exemplar public environment
is more important than a ‘stand-out design’.
• The waterways and green landscape are the site’s strongest
assets. Make the most of this and embrace the opportunity for an
innovative and sustainability-led development.
• Have a strong identity and academic offer, with clarity on the
relationship between the two campuses. Innovation, research and
‘future thinking’ are strong assets for the identity.

1.3 Synopsis of findings
Synopsis of findings
The summaries to the right give an
overview of the feedback received in
Stage 1, categorised into a number of
overarching topics.
These topics have been informed
by the areas that received most
discussion and debate in the first
stage of consultation.
As the consultation process
continues, we will reference back to
these topic areas to track feedback
and the masterplan development.
Physical connectivity
Public spaces for people
Urban form & identity
Use, activities & facilities
Other comments & questions
To, from and through the campus
• Ensure welcoming pedestrian
and cycling access routes to UCL
East. In particular, Montfichet
Road is a poor pedestrian and
cycle experience and needs
improvement.
Inclusive, involving and inviting
• Create public space that
embraces students, staff,
community and visitors alike
in an environment of learning
and exchange with a lively and
engaging atmosphere.
Architecture & identity
• Have high standards of design
that are comparable in quality to
buildings at Bloomsbury campus
and on the Park. Architectural
cohesion with existing venues at
the Park and an exemplar public
environment is more important
than a ‘stand-out design’.
University facilities
• There is insufficient study space
at Bloomsbury and UCL East is
an opportunity to address this citing indoor, outdoor, informal
and formal study space.
Environmental sustainability
• UCL East is seen as a real
opportunity for a sustainabilityled development. Both in line
with the sustainable status of the
Park and potential innovation of
the University.
Open and intuitive wayfinding
• Create an open and accessible
site with clear sight lines, signage
and intuitive routes. Have an
iconic “front door’ that links as
many of the access routes as
possible.
• Could the waterways be used as
an access-point for the site?
Integrated disabled access
• Have integrated disabled access
as well as more disabled parking.
Relationship with UCL Bloomsbury
• What will the relationship
between the campuses be? Will
students/staff need to travel
between the two or will they
function independently? Time
and cost implications?
Capacity and local impact
• What is the cumulative impact
on the roads and public transport
of UCL East alongside other local
developments?
10
• Have a permeable site, using
public space, activities and
installation to blur the edges.
Levels of access
• There is understanding that not
everywhere would be open to
the public. Clear and intuitive
design of these levels of access
will be a key challenge. Will the
public parts really be public, or
semi-public?
Scale & views
• Protect views to and from Park
venues. These are seen as a
benchmark for height.
• Ensure at ground level it feels of
a ‘human scale’ - particularly at
the taller northern edge. Could an
active ground level ‘piazza’ bring
life to this space?
Park and river setting
• Make the most of these qualities.
They are highly valued and one
of the site’s strongest assets.
Identity & place
• Have a strong identity and
academic offer. Maintaining the
world-class educational and
research status, linked with UCL.
Security and safety
• Natural surveillance is important.
There were mixed views on
the need for a visible security
presence.
• Smart technologies and an
engaging atmosphere could give
identity in a more contemporary
way.
• Make it a ‘destination’ for the
community – should become a
part of people’s mental map.
• Building distribution to give
a “campus feel” and foster
interaction.
• Is there opportunity to partner
with the Park sports facilities?
A community facing university and
level of access
• Have a community-facing
university with visible access to
certain activities and facilities;
yet considering the needs and
expectations of paying students.
• Will there be a library and will it
be publicly accessible?
• Provide a programme of
activities and work with schools
to increase access to education
and engender comfort and multicultural attention.
• Have an alternative offer to
Westfield - locally run and/or
independent shops, cafes etc.
• Create a place that has activity
and life during the daytime,
evening and weekend.
Accommodation
• Include a wider cost range of
student accommodation (more
shared as opposed to private).
Ensure accommodation is
accessible.
Gentrification
• Avoid creating a generic /
exclusive atmosphere - hold
events and activities that
embrace local communities.
Temporary use
• South Park Lawn is a valued
event space.
• In phasing construction consider
existing uses and ensure there
are interim uses
Local employment & business
• Will there be a strategy to ensure
a degree of local employment
and / or incubator space for
micro-companies?
Relationship with the stadium
• How will the land use and
management of the site respond
to noise and traffic generated by
the stadium?
• What will happen on match days?

1.4 Recommendations
1.4 Recommendations
Process recommendations
Throughout the first stage of
consultation, there has been a sense
of positivity and excitement about
the opportunities that UCL East
could bring for the local area and
for the expansion of UCL. On this
page is a series of recommendations
for the masterplan and next stages
of the process to help build on
this positive interest so that plans
proceed in partnership with the
local community and those who may
occupy the buildings in the future.
A. Heard through consultation
B. Soundings recommendations
The comments below were heard
during the consultation and relate
to items wider than the masterplan
itself.
The following recommendations are
made by Soundings after carrying
out the first stage of consultation.
These relate to the wider process
and not to the matersplan.
Draft masterplan: next step
recommendations
The headline findings on page 9
(and in more detail on pages 10
and 11) provide an overview of
the community recommendations
and ideas for development of the
masterplan. Below are an number of
recommendations for the next stage
of consultation that will help enable
understanding of some of the key
issues:
• Demonstrate the pedestrian and
cycle experience to, from and
through the UCL East site; ensure
it is intuitive and welcoming.
• Give a sese of the quality of
public spaces you are aiming to
achieve.
• Continue to carry out meaningful,
robust community consultation
and engagement at key periods
during the development of the
masterplan and detailed design.
• Openly involve the UCL
community in the local
community engagement to
ensure transparency and
enable opportunities for jointdiscussions.
• Ensure community engagement
is considered in the medium and
long term as a helpful way of
dealing with conflicts of priorities
and opportunities during the
development and later in the
campus’ operation.
• Working with schools and young
people is a key local priority. This
is a long term strategy for UCL
East.
• Publish key documents on the
website(s), alongside a clear
account of the masterplan
process and the complex
governance arrangements.
Chapter 1 | Summary
UCL EAST
STAGE 1 CONSULTATION REPORT
1.4 Recommendations
• The findings from the
consultation on the masterplan
should inform a brief that will
be given to the detailed design
team. A mechanism should
also be put in place to ensure
feedback received now, that is
relevant to later stages, is revisited and considered at the
appropriate stage.
• At the next stage of consultation
on the masterplan, develop
responses to the key issues
raised to date. Demonstrating
how they have influenced the
masterplan, or the rationale if
this has not been possible.

CHAPTER 2
BACKGROUND
2.1 Olympicopolis
A new vibrant education and
cultural district
In 2013 the Mayor unveiled his
vision for ‘Olympicopolis’ which
takes its inspiration from the
achievements of Prince Albert, who
used the proceeds of the 1851 Great
Exhibition to create ‘Albertopolis’.
The 86 acre site in South Kensington,
centred on Exhibition Road, is today
considered one of the world’s most
distinguished scientific, educational,
artistic and cultural hubs.
The Olympicopolis project will be
split across two sites: UCL East, a
new university campus for UCL to
the south of the ArcelorMittal Orbit,
and Stratford Waterfront, close to
the London Aquatics Centre, which
will be home to a new University
of the Arts London campus, as well
as Sadler’s Wells and the Victoria
and Albert Museum. Discussions
are also underway with the
Smithsonian Institution to open its
first permanent museum outside of
the United States.
Overall, the scheme is expected
to deliver 3,000 jobs, 1.5 million
additional visitors and £2.8 billion
of economic value to Stratford and
the surrounding area.
The aim is to have the first
University buildings complete
in 2019 and the first Stratford
Waterfront buildings complete in
2021.

2.2 About UCL East
A new UCL campus on Queen
Elizabeth Olympic Park will be the
largest single expansion of UCL since
its foundation in 1826. The first
phase is expected to have around
2,500 students, 200 academic staff,
200 researchers and 100 other staff
on site alongside other users and
visitors.
As a campus of the future, UCL East
aims to provide new approaches to
practical learning, opportunities for
participation and public engagement,
2.2 About UCL East
facilities for open innovation and
spaces that are both modern and
sustainable.
The campus is expected to feature a
collection of innovative ‘knowledge
centres’, bringing together crossdisciplinary expertise from the arts
and humanities, engineering, design,
culture and the social sciences.
UCL is currently undergoing a
separate academic selection process
to determine the faculties that will
be at UCL East.
UCL East will:
• House new activity not currently
offered at UCL’s Bloomsbury
campus.
• Serve as a model for a university
campus of the future.
• Provide an outstanding
environment for learning and
scholarship for students, staff,
collaborators and the public.
• Play a central role in the
sustainable development of
Olympicopolis and east London.

UCL is a public research university in
London and is considered to be one
of the most prestigious universities
in the world.
UCL was established to open up
university education to those who
had been previously excluded
from it. It was the first university
institution to be entirely secular, to
admit students regardless of their
religion, and to admit women on
equal terms with men (1878).
UCL currently has over 35,000
students from 150 countries and
more than 11,000 staff. UCL’s
Bloomsbury campus in central
London has limited room for
growth and UCL East presents a
unique opportunity to build an
open and accessible new campus
pioneering a radical new approach
to cross-disciplinary working,
partnership, collaboration and public
engagement.
The Bartlett and UCL Engineering
will also be expanding into Here
East on Queen Elizabeth Olympic
Park in early 2016.

CHAPTER 3
CONSULTATION PROCESS
3.1 Overview
Consultation on the UCL East masterplan is a three-stage process,
involving key stakeholders and the community at each key stage of design
development. Below is a broad overview of the aims of each stage. The
following pages detail the Stage 1 activities that have taken place.
Stage 1 | Issues, opportunities & masterplan principles
• The first stage aims to raise awareness of the project with UCL staff,
students, local stakeholders and local community across four boroughs,
including key groups such as youth.
• Consultation is focused on gaining an understanding of both UCL
and local issues and aspirations for UCL East. As well as introducing
masterplan principles and considerations for feedback.
• Findings from engagement will test the early masterplan concepts and
help inform development of the draft masterplan.
Stage 2 | Draft Masterplan
• Stage 2 will continue to raise project awareness, identifying any key
communities not involved in the first stage and ensuring accessible
opportunity for these groups to be involved.
• Consultation on the draft masterplan will enable the gathering of
feedback to help develop and deliver a masterplan that is fine tuned to
both local aspirations and UCL’s masterplan objectives.
• Key findings from the first stage of engagement will be recapped,
alongside a clear explanation of how the masterplan has been informed
by consultation.
Stage 3
• Stage 3 will present the final masterplan that will form the basis of the
next stage of detail design.
• It will track how the plans have responded to consultation and provide
recommendations for the detailed design process; as well as information
about the next steps leading into the Olympicopolis planning
applications.

3.3 Stakeholder mapping
We are continually working to make
sure those who have an active
interest in, or are impacted by UCL
East are kept informed and involved.
There are currently over 700 project
contacts who we will continue to
engage with throughout the process.
Please see the mapping below,
showing local groups and
organisations who may be
interested. This is not an exhaustive
list, but aims to show a good crosssection of local groups within
approximately one mile of the UCL
East site. This boundary is flexible
and we will also be involving groups
from the wider area who have a
particular interest, wide remit or
to ensure that groups based on
the outskirts of this area can be
involved. The mapping is always
being updated, please let us know
if there are any groups you believe
should be considered.

introduce the project. It brought
together the UCL project team,
local stakeholder groups and UCL
stakeholders to share aspirations
and understandings, as well as
gather responses to the masterplan

This was the main event of the day
and started with a presentation
introducing the project from the
point of view of the individual
partners, the site constraints and an
overview of the initial masterplan
principles from LDA.
In advance of the main event, there
was an optional site walkabout
to explore the UCL East site and
surrounding context. This was
facilitated by the project team, to
provide information on the project
along the route. Participants were
also given a map by which to
orientate themselves and record
views on the opportunities and
challenges of the project

Sabbatical officers meeting
The aim of the youth engagement is
to generate interest and involvement
in the UCL East Masterplan
development in an appropriate and
engaging way for this age group. It
is of particular relevance because
of the potential opportunity the
university can afford this group in
the future. Involving them allows to
understand better what the physical
and psychological barriers are to
achieve the aspiration of UCL East
to ‘promote access for all - without
elitism’.
This was an introductory event
to explain the project and gather
initial views and priorities, as well
as feedback on making the Canvass
Cards youth friendly. 15 panel
members were involved and we
received 57 Big Ideas and 2 group
Canvass Cards.
Further activities with the Legacy
Youth Voice and Youth Board will
take place throughout the next
stages of consultation. Alongside
schools involvement sessions that
have been informed by the Teachers’
Forum in July (see next page for
further details).
As part of the wider consultation
process, a number of sessions were
organised through UCL and LLDC.
Sabbatical Officers are elected to
lead the Union (representative body
for UCL students) on a full-time
basis.

Event details
As part of the first stage of youth
engagement, the Legacy Youth Voice
have been involved in different
activities that have taken place over
the summer.
The Legacy Youth Voice group is
a panel of young east Londoners
working alongside the team
delivering Queen Elizabeth Olympic
Park. Formed four years prior to the
London 2012 Games, the project
harnesses young people’s interest
and enthusiasm, and enables them
to make a valuable contribution to
the regeneration of east London.
30
A focused-session with the Youth
Board gathered feedback and
checked findings from the Legacy
Youth Voice workshop. The forwardplan for youth engagement was
discussed and developed together
with the eight board members.
Involvement in Spark Festival
Members from the Legacy Youth
Voice were invited to be part of
the consultation team at the Spark
festival to maximise responses
from this age group and generate
discussions between young local
residents and UCL students. As it
was a rather wet Bank Holiday
Monday, there was a limited turnout but we will look at similar
opportunities in the future.
Legacy Youth Voice: Saturday 27 June
2015, 1-3pm, at LLDC’s offices
Youth Board: Thursday 9 July 2015,
7-8.30pm, at LLDC’s offices
Spark festival involvement: Monday 31
August 2015, 11am-6pm, at the Spark
Festival
Teachers’ forum
In July we held a Teachers’ Forum
where all LLDC’s ‘Go!’ schools
network members were invited to
discuss how they would like pupils
to be involved in the UCL East
masterplanning process.
These were very useful meetings
that introduced the project,
discussed initial issues relating
to schools and helped inform
session plans for both Primary and
Secondary school involvement,
which will be carried out during the
autumn term.
Event details
Teachers’ forum: Thursday 9 July, 4pm 5pm (primary), 5.30-6.30pm (secondary), at
LLDC’s offices.
The first meeting with the
seven Sabbatical Officers in
July introduced the project and
consultation process to discuss how
best to involve students moving
forward. The UCL East masterplan
was also discussed to understand
initial feedback.
Sabbatical officers walkabout
In the second meeting with the
Sabbatical Officers we visited the
site to discuss the project and their
aspirations and ideas in more depth.
UCL are carrying out a number of
internal consultations with regards
to UCL East. One of these groups is
the UCL Academic Challenge Panel
(ACP) who contribute ideas and test
initial thinking from an academic
expert and UCL perspective. A
number of ACP sub-groups were
held in June 2015 which looked
at specific areas of knowledge and
interest.
Although separate to the community
consultation, Soundings attended to
ensure the key areas of discussion
could be recorded alongside the
community consultation and
understand crossovers.
Event details
The group completed worksheets
during the walkabout and Canvass
Cards, commenting on the
opportunities and lessons to learn
from the local area and UCL.

It is worth noting that contact
details could not always be
collected, particularly during the
Pop-up events (although a tally was
kept). Also that UCL participants
are a community of interest rather
than of proximity to the site.
Therefore the attendance mapping
is not exhaustive and serves to
provide a check that there is a
good cross-section of involvement
from the different neighbourhoods
surrounding the site.

CHAPTER 4
FINDINGS
4.1 Introduction
The Stage 1 events gathered input and feedback on a range of topic areas
from both the local and UCL communities’ perspectives.
• Understanding place: what’s valued locally and lessons that could be
learned from the UCL Bloomsbury campus.
• Aspirations: relating to UCL East, what are the perceived opportunities
and potential challenges to overcome.
• Priorities and key issues: understanding key areas of interest, response
to the masterplan principles and priorities for the masterplan.
The feedback received has been regularly communicated and discussed with
LLDC, UCL and the LDA masterplanning team to inform the approach and
development of the draft masterplan. This section of the report provides
a detailed summary of the feedback, which has been collected from the
following sources:
• Community Canvass Card.
• UCL Canvass Card.
• Masterplan Event worksheets.
• Masterplan Event walkabout sheet.
• ‘Big Ideas Map’ consultation activity.
• ‘Wheel of Fortune’ consultation activity.
• Emails and letters received.
• Feedback through the various focus group sessions (see pages 52 to 55
for an overview).
Pages 46 to 50 provide an overview of all discussions that have taken place
throughout the first stage of consultation. Pages 10 and 11 in the executive
summary also provides a high level summary of this.

4.2 Understanding place
What qualities do you value most...?
At the local pop-up events, we
asked people what qualities they
most value, both within Queen
Elizabeth Olympic Park and in the
local area where they spend most
time. The results show that there
are different aspects of the Park
people value such as the open green
spaces, leisure and sports facilities
and ease of access. Local benefits
and community involvement were
also considered of value within the
Park, giving opportunities to create
a sense of a diverse and cohesive
community.

What would you like to see at
UCL East?
People were asked to tell us what
they would like to see at UCL
East for the local area. The results
show that they highly encourage
access to evening lectures, library
and various courses available
for the local community. This
will allow all age groups from
young to older people to raise
aspirations and integration with
the existing community. Links
with local schools were strongly
encouraged to inspire them
through free activities, access
to facilities and interaction
with university students. Other
suggestions include incorporating
renewable and energy-saving
features to the building, study
areas to share ideas and help
each other and students working
on local charity and community
projects.
The results from the pop-up
events at UCL show that UCL East
is seen as a key opportunity for
additional and higher quality
space for students to study and/
or socialise; specific comments
cited opportunity for a library,
research / technology-based
facilities and even a UCL Science
Park. Other comments include the
opportunity to connect to east
London and its culture, links with
future development at Stratford
Waterfront and affordable
student accommodation.

What are the potential challenges to
consider, linked to UCL East?
From a local community perspective,
perceived challenges for UCL East
were cited most frequently with
regards to community integration.
Asking how it can be truly beneficial
to the existing community, and avoid
the pitfalls of gentrification in an
area that is undergoing significant
change. Make it somewhere that
feels accessible and open to all through physical design, outreach
and activities
Access and movement was also seen
as a key challenge, particularly from
a UCL perspective which highlighted
potential time and cost implications
of travelling between UCL East and
the Bloomsbury campus. As well
as a concern that it is further away
from central London. Locally, the key
challenges were addressing potential
congestion and ensuring good
connectivity between UCL East and
local transport links.

What lessons could UCL East learn
from the Bloomsbury campus?
This was a particular question for
UCL community to understand what
UCL East could provide in relation
to the Bloomsbury campus. Space
has been an issue at Bloomsbury
where there are not enough spaces
and facilities. Many people referred
to the Quad in Bloomsbury campus
as a good social gathering space.
Easy access to central London and
well-connected public transport is
another asset to the Bloomsbury
campus which UCL East needs to
consider.

4.4 Priorities & masterplan
principles
Your priorities
Through the Canvass Cards and at
the Masterplan Event we asked
people to select their top 5 priorities
that they think the UCL East
masterplan should consider.
The given list was established
through early discussions on the
project and cross-checked with the
Legacy Youth Voice and Board. There
was also an opportunity to add any
additional priorities.
It was noted that all aspects listed
will be considered as part of the
masterplan, however this exercise
aimed to understand what the key
areas of interest and importance are
between the different groups.
Categories vary slightly between
the UCL and local focused Canvass
Cards to ensure the questions were
relevant. Although a number of
categories cross-over to help enable
comparison.
The diagrams to the right show
the priorities in the order selected,
separated by source, including:
• Local community feedback (pop-ups)
• UCL community feedback (pop-ups)
• Stakeholder feedback (Masterplan
Event)
Participants were also asked to
say why they had chosen their top
priorities. This information has been
analysed and compiled as part of the
key issues analysis on pages 46 to
50.

4.4 Priorities & masterplan principles
Access from Montfichet Road
This was a frequent area of
discussion. As one of the key routes
to the site from Stratford Station,
it is considered a “poor pedestrian
experience” and potentially of
detriment to the perception of UCL
East. Comments and suggestions
included:
Topic analysis
Pages 49 to 53 provide an indepth summary of the comments
received in Stage 1. This provides
an overview of the key areas of
discussion from all events and
means of feedback.
• Interventions to reduce the
current wind tunnel effect.
The analysis is categorised into a
number of topic areas which have
been informed by the areas that
received most discussion and debate
in the first stage of consultation.
• Incorporate green walls and art /
information to help improve the
quality of the environment.
• Increase the capacity – the width
lacks the capacity for the “peak
flow” of UCL students.
As the consultation process
continues, we will reference back to
these topic areas to track feedback
and the masterplan development.
• There is a perception
(particularly from the UCL
community) that the site is
quite a distance from public
transport. Raising awareness and
improving Montfichet Road may
help address this.
Relationship with UCL Bloomsbury
There needs to be a clarification of
what the relationship between the
campuses will be; will the students
and/or staff be required to travel
between the two or will they
function independently? What are
the time and cost implications?
• Ensure welcoming pedestrian
and cycling access routes
throughout. The existing wide
pedestrian routes are positive.
• Cycling paths are a necessary
addition to the main road citing particular opportunity to
improve safety on Montfichet
Road and Carpenters Road. The
introduction of the Santander
Cycle hire scheme (which is
coming to the Park) was also
suggested.
• Use artwork and installations on
railway underpasses to create a
sense of connectivity with the
communities to the south.
Integrated disabled access
• It was generally noted that
current disabled access to
varying levels of the Park is
good, but there are also some
opportunities for improvement.
Accessibility and inclusive
design should be of a very high
standard at UCL East.
• There should be a limited
amount of general parking
provision, but more disabled
parking is currently needed.
Capacity
Comparing group priorities, Masterplan Event, 22/07/2015
Intuitive wayfinding
• Have clear sight lines and
intuitive routes supported by
Legible London type signage.
• Have an iconic “front door” for
the site that links as many of the
access routes as possible.
• The site should feel open
and accessible to the local
community - see public space on
page 50 for more details.
48
Pedestrian and cyclist focused
It was questioned if there is
sufficient future capacity of public
transport, on the roads and onfoot to accommodate the increased
numbers. This relates, in part, to
wider local developments, however
further information is needed.
Waterways
Consider access to the waterways
for facilities such as pontoons,
jetties and moorings.

STAGE 1 CONSULTATION REPORT
Public space
4.4 Priorities & masterplan principles
Inclusive, involving and inviting
Levels of access
The nature of public space at
UCL East has been one of the key
discussion topics:
There is an understanding that a
university would need to manage
spaces and not everywhere would
be accessible / open to the public.
• It is considered fundamental
to create a public environment
that embraces people (students,
staff, community and visitors)
in an environment of learning
and exchange with a lively and
engaging atmosphere where
people can meet.
• Have a permeable site, using
public space and activities to blur
the edges.
• Focal communal spaces at UCL
Bloomsbury (e.g. the Quad and
Gordon’s Square) are valued - but
limited. Integrate this type of
space at UCL East.
• Clear and intuitive design of
these levels of access and
security will be a key challenge,
linked to activity programming,
management and physical design.
• Will the public parts really be
public, or semi-public? Make
sure ‘fully public’ is meant when
referring to this.
• Have multiple uses of some
spaces. As well as visibility
into spaces or external displays
to help blur the line between
‘academic’ and ‘community’.
Chapter 4 | Findings
UCL EAST
STAGE 1 CONSULTATION REPORT
Urban form & identity
4.4 Priorities & masterplan principles
Architecture & identity
• It was discussed if identity is
found in ‘iconic’ and ‘blow your
mind’ architecture or through
architectural cohesion with
existing venues at the Park? The
general consensus was towards
the latter, suggesting what
could make it truly ‘iconic’ is a
public environment that really
embraces people and activity “people-centric-buzziness” (see
public space on page 47).
• In either case, have high
standards of design that are
comparable in quality to
buildings at the Bloomsbury
campus and on the Park; and will
stand the test of time.
Scale and views
Activities
Make the most of the Park and river
setting
Activities for children, adults,
students and the wider community
were suggested, to help create lively
and curated public space:
• The “green, blue and relaxed”
qualities of the Park are currently
highly valued. This is seen as one
of the site’s strongest assets that
the design should embrace.
• Social spaces with opportunity
for impromptu activities,
experiments and performances.
• The south-west edge of the site
looking onto City Mill River has
potential to be well-designed
public space - the ‘sunset moment’
concept was well received.
• Use innovative activities and
events to engage. Exhibit UCL
activities, hold outdoor public
lectures and have interactive
design / displays.
• Waterside areas will naturally
be occupied and are instinctive
places for shared public space.
• Ensure activities connect to the
diverse local communities.
• Have student-specific space, such
as a Students Union, in a visible
and central location.
Management & maintenance
There was a generally positive
response to existing Park
management and maintenance.
These should be co-ordinated to
ensure consistency in the quality.
50
Security and safety
Natural surveillance through the site
and at the edges is important.
However there were a mix of views
on the need for a visible security
presence / cameras. Closing times
of certain areas of the Bloomsbury
campus made some existing students
feel secure.
• Views to and from Park venues,
as well as wider vistas (e.g.
towards the City should be
protected).
• It was suggested that the existing
Park venues (London Aquatics
Centre, Stadium and ArcelorMittal
Orbit) are used as benchmarks
for height. Understanding views
and comparative heights will be
important at the next stage of
consultation.
• Ensure at ground level it feels of
a ‘human scale’.
• Consider the view of the site
from the ArcelorMittal Orbit
(what’s on top?). Have a green
and active roof-scape.
Edges
• Blur line between the campus
and surrounding area. Have a
mix of ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ edges with
engaging uses at ground level.
• Despite site boundaries reaching
the waterfront, the buildings
should not.
• Some concern that the
northern edge could be a harsh
environment and scale - could an
active ground level ‘piazza’ bring
life to this space?
Identity & place
• Make a reason to be here;
make it a ‘destination’ for the
community – should become a
part of people’s mental map.
• UCL East needs a strong
standalone identity and academic
offer, yet retaining some links
to the existing UCL campus and
maintaining the world-class
educational and research status.
Have a modern, unique, and
inviting offer.
• Smart technologies and an
engaging atmosphere could give
identity in a more contemporary
way.
• Relate and connect to the Park
and waterways character of the
surrounding area - it is one of the
site’s strongest assets.
• Distribution of uses and the
composition of the buildings
should give a “campus feel” and
foster interaction.
• Consider what the ‘iconic’
graduation ceremony venue is?
• Will the logo remain the same or
will there be a new one?
• Respond to local culture and
heritage, ensuring references
aren’t ‘cliché’ or ‘too polished’.
Finally there were concerns about
how the site would be kept secure
during match days.

Use, activities & facilities
4.4 Priorities & masterplan principles
University facilities
• There were clear views that
the Bloomsbury campus has
insufficient study space and UCL
East is an opportunity to address
this - citing indoor, outdoor,
informal and formal study space.
• Is there opportunity to have
some shared facilities with other
nearby Universities?
• Specific suggestions for
university facilities included:
• More library seating
A community facing university and
level of access
Make some university facilities
accessible for the community such
as hireable rooms with community
discount, evening lectures,
weekend classes and access to
the library. However there was
also an understanding that the
university will need to prioritise
use considering the needs and
expectations for paying students.
It was also noted that the facilities
that are accessed by the community
should be visible and not ‘hidden’.
• Open lecture theatres or study
• Informal areas with the
potential to study
• Student services – medical,
dental, etc.
• Students Union
• Cash machines
• Prayer hall
• Research facilities – plentiful,
accessible, state-of-the-art,
bookable
• There were also suggestions from
the community to ensure there
is a range of levels and types of
courses to increase accessibility.
Access to sports facilities
• There is a strong opportunity to
partner with Park sports facilities
(both individuals and societies/
clubs). There is currently a
perceived lack of sports facilities
at UCL Bloomsbury.
• There were suggestions that UCL
East would be an opportunity to
study sport related courses, with
access to world-class facilities.
Retail
Have an alternative offer to
Westfield - locally run and/
or independent shops, cafes,
restaurants, bakeries, bookshops,
clubs, bars, cinema, etc.

Other comments & questions
4.4 Priorities & masterplan principles
Environmental sustainability
• UCL East is seen as a real
opportunity for an exemplar
sustainability-led development.
Both in line with the sustainable
status of the Park and potential
innovation of the University.
• Reduce any environmental
impact during construction and
in the everyday running of the
site.
• Consider green walls, green
roofs, enhancing biodiversity
and sustainable infrastructure
and transport.
Local outreach and access to
education
• Research how surrounding
universities engage with the
community and exceed it.
Consider engagement in both the
medium and long term.
Gentrification
• Avoid creating a generic /
exclusive atmosphere - hold
events and activities that
embrace local communities.
• Provide a programme of
activities and work with schools
to increase access to education
and engender comfort and multicultural attention.
• Concerns are, in part, linked to
the wider regeneration of the
area and the impact of UCL on
values of homes and goods
making them unaffordable.
• Use innovation, installation
and events as a means of
engagement.
• Take all communities (including
boating community) into
consideration
• Act as a centre for advice either
by going to local schools or
bringing people in; alternatively
have an advice centre in place
that local people can visit for
advice on access to education.
Temporary use
South Park Lawn is currently a
valued event space - ensure that the
spaces not built on during the first
phase of construction have interim
uses. There is also an opportunity to
create positive exchange on the site
from early-on.
Local employment and business
• Will there be a strategy to ensure
a degree of local employment?
• Dedicate a small amount of
space to an incubator space for
micro-companies. Economic,
modest start-up space is key
to start-up businesses and
could link to unique courses in
entrepreneurship.
Noise from the Stadium
During events in the Stadium there
will be noise pollution. How will the
land use and management of the site
respond to this?
Timescale
How long will the second phase
take? What will happen if it doesn’t
get funding or is delayed?
Accommodation
• Providing staff / student
accommodation local to the
campus is positive. Include a
wider cost range of student
accommodation (more shared as
opposed to private).
• Ensure accommodation is
accessible.
Active at different times
Create a place that has activity and
life during the daytime, evening and
weekend.

UCL EAST
STAGE 1 CONSULTATION REPORT
4.5 Group sessions
4.5 Group sessions
A number of group sessions have
been held during first stage of
consultation. These have been
targeted towards groups who may
not otherwise engage in the general
consultation process, including
youth groups and local schools, as
well as the ‘student body’.
To the right is a summary of the key
findings from these sessions.
Legacy Youth Voice
Youth board
Sabbatical officer meeting
Sabbatical officer walkabout
Teachers’ forum
The first in a series of Legacy
Youth Voice sessions started with
presentations from LLDC and LDA,
giving an overview of UCL East and
what a masterplan is. The Legacy
Youth Voice reviewed and helped
inform the Canvass Card questions
before the summer pop-up events.
They then got into pairs and
identified their top 5 priorities for
UCL East. These were then discussed
to reach a collective set of priorities
for the group, summarised below:
The second youth session discussed
the project in more depth with the
Youth Board, checking findings
from the Legacy Youth Voice
and developing the forwardplan for youth engagement. The
session gave rise to a number of
specific comments on the UCL East
development, including:
The first meeting with the UCL
Sabbatical Officers introduced the
project and consultation process
to discuss how best to involve
students moving forward. The UCL
East masterplan was also discussed
to understand initial feedback. Key
discussion points are summarised
below:
In the second meeting with the
Sabbatical Officers we visited the
site to discuss the project and their
aspirations and ideas in more depth.
The first teachers’ forum meetings
were an opportunity to discuss
how local schools would like to be
involved in the consultation process.
This included both a primary school
and a secondary school session.
1.Involvement in the community
2.Access to education
3.Opportunities for employment
and training
4.Public space for all
5.Local shops and facilities
The group also told us what they
would like to see at UCL East, the
key points are below:
• Make sure everyone is
considered, link to existing
community
• It should be world class
architecture that represents
UCL, however functional
and attractive space is more
important than ‘showy’ buildings.
• An iconic location is important the Portico at UCL Bloomsbury is
a good example and instils pride.
• Have a two-way exchange with
local schools.
• Local employment
• Debate about the role of the
university and if this should
be linked to local start-up
businesses.
• Access to UCL East facilities by
the local community
• Ensure local employment
opportunities.
• Integration with the Park
• Ensure there are activities on
the South Park Lawn during the
construction phases so it’s not all
‘closed down’.
• UCL should embed themselves
into the local community
54
• As local residents the desire
for community access was
understood, but it is important
to consider the needs and
expectations of students who are
paying fees.
• There is real opportunity for
sports clubs and societies at the
Park, with potential to link to
world-class sporting facilities.
• Sports societies and clubs could
also have a two-way relationship
with the local community; where
they go out to local schools /
groups to provide support, as
well as invite them in.
• Open / visible space for the
Students Union would be
valuable. Possibly on the river
to encourage wider involvement
and interaction.
• Public space is important consider where the sun hits and
make it a welcoming place to
hang out.
The group completed worksheets
during the walkabout and Canvass
Cards, commenting on the
opportunities and lessons to learn
from the local area and UCL. Below
is a summary of the main areas of
discussion:
Amenity provision
• Places to meet and social life
• Need more than just Westfield.
Local and independent shops are
preferable to chains.
Identity & urban form
• Concern over how UCL East will
be perceived. It needs a strong
identity to avoid being ‘the other’
UCL campus.
• Will there be a UCL East logo,
separate to their current
university logo?
• Buildings should enable organic
development and change over
time according to university
needs and pattern of use
Connectivity
• Montfichet Road access was
thought to hinder the beauty of
the site.
• The site should feel open &
accessible to the community.
• Make connections with the
community and local projects.
Ideas for involvement in the next
stage of consultation were discussed
and all schools attending expressed
interest in taking part. There were
also a number of comments and
suggestions made regarding the UCL
East masterplan:
• Ecology and environment is an
important consideration. Both
within the proposals and in terms
of involving local children.
• Ensure there are longer-term
involvement programmes from
UCL, both on a community level
and an academic level.
• Will there be a library that is
open to the public? It is currently
difficult for (older) children to
research some of the topic areas
they need to in the local libraries.
• Strong interest in potential links
to science.

Urban design
The discussions focused around the
relevant project brief topics such as
how to promote access to facilities,
integrate to existing Stratford
community and safety & security for
all.
The session outlined the utilities and
operational infrastructure which
exists at Queen Elizabeth Olympic
Park highlighting the capacity,
opportunity and constraints.
Sustainability, smart technologies,
biodiversity
Alongside the community
consultation process and wider
engagement with Statutory
Consultees, UCL are carrying out a
number of internal consultations
regarding UCL East.
One of these groups is the UCL
Academic Challenge Panel who give
a critical analysis of the scheme
development from an academic
expert and UCL perspective. A
number of ACP sub-groups were
held in June 2015 to look at specific
areas of knowledge and interest.
Soundings attended these sessions
to ensure a record of the key areas
of discussion and understand where
there are crossovers with the
community consultation.
The summaries to the right provide
an overview of these sessions and
the key areas of discussion.
Some comparisons were made with
examples such as the Royal Festival
Hall and Somerset House where
building spaces are used organically
and without constrain.
Other discussions included the need
to provide community benefits
at ground level; such as student
facilities open to all (bar / library /
museum etc). It was suggested that
the library should be accessible to
all sixth formers and anybody in the
local area.
The requirement for visible
security was much debated. There
was concern from the security
perspective of not having a visual
security presence, which in itself
provides a ‘passive’ security
function. It was also suggested
to consider a permeable ground
floor with a level of security at the
transition to the first floor.
Utilities
• Sustainable and efficient heating
and cooling is important. A range
of methods were discussed
including using the rivers or
ground source heat pumps,
although it was noted that the
rivers have relatively low flows
especially in the summer months.
• There is no current gas supply,
but it was agreed that this would
be needed.
• Ensure the site fixes (plumbing)
can be adaptable to different
water source options as a long
term flexibility.
• It was noted that the Telecom
should be the fastest possible
networks - future-proof as far as
possible.
Building function
• There was much debate about
the optimum building unit size
to achieve a usable space and
maximum future flexibility.
Ensuring functional space is key,
considering management and the
impact of noise in particular.
• Management and operations
should be kept simple and avoid
mechanical ventilation where
possible. Part of being innovative
is making technologies / design /
servicing accessible, without the
need for a building manager.
Quality of environment
• Have outward looking public
spaces on the edges; balance
between human enjoyment and
biodiversity; and ensure northern
edge isn’t too harsh.
56
The session focused on the
adaptability and resource
management of the site.
The concept of “Living Lab” was
raised and references from Australia
and the Netherlands cited.
LDA Design presented their
Sustainability Framework including
health, well-being, economy and
community. A range of topics were
discussed and suggestions and
feedback were given:
• Flexibility and maintainability:
involve users in the process (in
the past UCL installed water
meters which were monitored
by students); infrastructure
that meets future research
and teaching needs which are
currently unknown (data, power
systems etc); self-cleaning.
• Transport and mobility: boat
access.
• Energy and water: energy
performance, non-potable water
treatment, tanks on the roofs,
tidal energy, energy generating
pavement, natural ventilation,
buildings orientation and depths
(18 m).
• Materials and waste: recycling
and/or innovative use of
materials (mycelium based
insulation, wood waster
composites).
The session gathered UCL expertise
on built environment and relevant
fields in connection to the UCL East
development.
The session commenced with
a summary of a team visit to
precedent universities and four
emerging themes: governance, public
space, regeneration & community
and curation (of the public space).
Key objectives explored in terms of
spatial thinking were a vision for the
university that combines the formal
and informal, city meeting Park and
a campus on the river.
The group noted the site as a
challenging site and need to consider
the experience of space, getting to
and from Stratford.
The group agreed that there is a
need for an identifiable gathering
‘heart space’ which could be a
singular or multiple.
A question was raised about the site
and its relationship to east London
and industrial heritage - how should
this be reflected in the proposed
masterplan?
It was also suggested that there is an
opportunity to consider meanwhile
use / temporary structures intermediate spaces for experiment
over 5-7 years.
The design needs to consider
responsiveness of the spaces for the
next 20-30 years.
• Land-use and biodiversity: using
roofs, creating habitats.
Key enabling features for a
successful living lab include:
1. Diversity of spaces with room for
adaptation and experimentation
2. Flexible and far-reaching
infrastructure with space/capacity
3. Relationship with users and assets
beyond UCL East site boundary, and
the importance of connecting with
Stratford Waterfront project.

TRACKING CHANGES
5.1 Introduction
Over the course of the consultation the project team will listen to and
wherever possible respond to the views of local and UCL communities,
alongside those of key stakeholders and Statutory Consultees (such as
Transport for London).
The first stage of consultation has provided a good understanding of key
issues and aspirations, alongside an overview of responses to masterplan
principles. As the design develops, future reports will track the masterplan
development alongside the feedback received to show how the proposals
are responding to consultation.

Table __ Priorities
AT QUEEN ELIZABETH
OLYMPIC PARK
The masterplan principles set out an approach to access: we would like to know your thoughts on the following.
UCL EAST
AT QUEEN ELIZABETH
OLYMPIC PARK
1. Access & Community
Please discuss the areas of most interest to the table, and note which you are referring to in the comments column.
Comments
A. Overcoming barriers to access
How can the masterplan encourage
access and ensure that the
development is welcoming and
attractive to the local community?
B. Public space
What could the nature of public space
in the university campus be like, what
uses do you imagine there and how
could this interface with the local
community?
2. Identity & Form
UCL EAST
2 | Identity & Form
AT QUEEN ELIZABETH
OLYMPIC PARK
The masterplan principles set out an approach to identity and form: we would like to know your thoughts on the
following. Please discuss the areas of most interest to the table and note which you are referring to in the comments
column.
Comments
A. Areas of use
The masterplan principles set out areas
for different aspects of use, are these
broadly in the right places?
3. Top 3 Priorities & Considerations
B. Identity
1.
Should the campus feel a part of the
city or more connected to the Park
and riverside, or should it feel like an
estate? Is it outward or inward looking?
Should there be a strong architectural
identity?
2.
C. Edges
The masterplan principles indicate
differing edge conditions. Do you
agree with these?
• Working, urban edge to the south
• Arrival moment and river setting to the
east
• Perforated green edge to the west
(sunset moment) more back than front
• Formal park edge to the north, long
distance views
3.

D. Urban form
What are the table’s thoughts on the
emerging urban form?
A | What are the group’s top 5 priorities for the UCL East masterplan to consider?
B5. Thank you and community pop-up events introduction board
Encouraging access to education
Involvement in the community - links and projects
Public open space for all
World class architecture (iconic identity)
Opportunities for start ups and businesses
Opportunities for employment and training
New shops and facilities – e.g. bookshops, cafes
Local services and suppliers used by the university
Local access to university spaces, activities and events
Security and safe routes
Innovation and research – making a difference
Temporary uses during construction (e.g. pop-up activities / art etc)
Environmental sustainability
Others (please state)

C | What questions or issues would you like to raise with the design team and / or partners?
Thank you for attending the UCL East Masterplan Event.
Over the summer we will be popping-up in the Queen Elizabeth
Olympic Park and the surrounding neighbourhoods to introduce
the project, discuss the masterplan principles and understand
local aspirations.
We're giving every participant a small 'green gift' to say thank you
and our contact details to keep in touch. Please feel free to take
one home with you.
We hope to see you soon.

constraints and opportunities for the site
including:
• Level changes.
• Railway line creates visual barrier but it is
reasonably permeable with four underpass routes.
• Stadiumcrowdflowsduringevents.
• Key views towards the City of London.
• Waterways and green edges provide an
attractive setting and place character.

Distribution of uses
Design & concept approach
The diagram to the right shows some of the
early thinking about how various different uses
could be distributed across the site at ground
floorlevel.
1. An urban campus on the river
2. Arrival and connectivity
Take advantage of the unique setting and waterside location, with different
qualities on both riverside frontages. Including a ‘main front door’ by
Waterworks River and a quieter green space by City Mill River. Extend the Park
spine along Warton Road to draw the community of Stratford in.
Main arrival points aim to stitch the campus into the surrounding area and
reinforce Waterworks River as a key route, as well as a public route through the
main site.

Activities & quality of place
Ultimately, the plans
shown in this booklet are
thefirststepstocreating
places and spaces that
are animated, positive
and where people want
to be. This page gives
some examples of
precedents that have
been looked at and we
would like to know your
ideas.
4. Place creation and identity
As a new quarter UCL East will have a variety of places within it, the diagram
above illustrates the main character areas being considered. A key aim is to
reduce perception of the railway and road being barriers and create a new
urban edge to the Park. Using a variety of streets, gardens, squares and spaces
to create engaging places to be.
