School of Fine Art in London
The Slade School of Fine Art is one of the preeminent schools of art in Britain. It is located in an imposing neoclassical grade 1 listed building dating from 1872, which forms part of the main quadrangle of University College London in the heart of Bloomsbury. Since 1926, the Slade has undergone a number of ad-hoc modifications and lacked any coherent circulation. Movement through the building was arranged horizontally on four floors. The only significant vertical connection was the grand central staircase from ground to first floor.
