Building Information

Location: University of Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK
Architect: Chamberlin, Powell and Bon
Completed: 1970
Status: Grade II listed, still in use

Brief Overview:
The Roger Stevens Building was commissioned as part of the University of Leeds’ post-war expansion and named after Sir Roger Stevens, the university’s Vice-Chancellor. Containing 25 lecture theatres of varying size, it was designed with interlocking forms and circulation routes that made it both functional and sculptural. Today it is celebrated as one of the finest examples of Brutalist university architecture in the UK.

Making my concrete model

Roger Stevens Building, Leeds

Twenty-five lecture theatres, one sculptural block of concrete. The Roger Stevens Building miniature concrete model is for everyone who sat lectures and exams inside Chamberlin, Powell and Bon's 1970 building at the University of Leeds. The same architects gave London the Barbican. Here they stacked raked lecture halls into interlocking forms, now Grade II listed and among the finest Brutalist architecture on any British campus. This concrete model of the Roger Stevens Building captures that stacked composition at 6cm, a compact desk sculpture for a study or shelf. It's made for Leeds graduates, staff and fans of Yorkshire Brutalism, and it's a graduation gift with character. Each one is hand-cast in solid concrete, heavy and slightly different from the next.
