Snape Maltings . A Creative Campus
UNit5a visited Snape Maltings, Ipswich, and enjoyed the inventive, tactile, sensual, social commons created by Newson Garrett, Hepworth, Moore, Arup, and Haworth Tompkins in displacing the concept of the malthouse with that of a Creative Campus.

The creative campus comprises four performance venues (from 70 to 830 capacity) and over 20 rehearsal and public spaces: Snape Maltings Concert Hall; Britten-Pears Building (a former barley store); the wonderful Hoffmann Building converted by Haworth Tompkins in 2009 (the gem-like campus building, Dovecote Studio was completed in that same year), and the Pumphouse, which Haworth Tompkins are set to adapt in the near future.
