V&A at Dundee

Abertay and the V&A: making it happen

The University is proud to have been selected to host and, with the other partners work to present to the world the architectural competition materials.

Taking on the challenge of hosting the exhibition has created an exciting opportunity.  Students will benefit from the refurbishment of Level one and the University (including the Students Association) has begun the process of considering how this space can be best utilised for student use after the exhibition has finished.

Students and staff will have the opportunity to suggest ideas on how the refurnished space, and indeed the Library Building as a whole; can continue to be developed as a hub for the student learning experience. In fact more PCs have been added into levels 3 and 4 of the library to ensure student work is not disrupted and the library continues to be a place for peaceful study.

An exhibition of models and design concepts for the V&A at Dundee will be held at the University of Abertay Dundee from September 29.

The 'V&A at Dundee - Making it Happen' exhibition will feature work from the six shortlisted teams of world-class architects and designers who have put forward outstanding ideas for a landmark building that will house the V&A at Dundee and dominate Dundee’s waterfront.
