Universidad de Essex, en Wivenhoe, Inglaterra

The new Essex University, for an estimated 6 000 students, has two types of buildings: those devoted to various academic purposes, and those attending to such functions as restaurants, students' tall building residence, social and recreational facilities, and clubs. The whole project has been located along a central road. The main buildings are sited close to this main artery, although there are a number of independent buildings, such as the residential blocks, placed elsewhere. The whole project is attractive because of its tasteful simplicity.La nueva Universidad de Essex, prevista para una población estudiantil de 6.000 alumnos, consta de edificios de dos clases: los destinados a distintos fines académicos; y los dedicados a otros objetivos, tales como restaurante; edificios-torres residenciales para estudiantes; instalaciones sociales y recreativas; tiendas; clubs; etc. El conjunto ha sido desarrollado a lo largo de una arteria central de circulación, con las principales unidades constructivas organizadas a ambos lados de esa espina central, si bien hay diferentes cuerpos de edificación independientes que constituyen los edificios especiales y las torres residenciales.
