Named for the 'father of economics', the Adam Smith Building at the University of Glasgow isn't just a business school; it's a connector. Three different spaces, woven together, designed to spark those 'aha!' moments between disciplines. Scotland's RIAS Awards have placed our design for the project on their 2025 shortlist, recognising outstanding architecture. More than a building, Adam Smith is an exercise in fostering collaboration and igniting fresh perspectives. It's about sparking new ideas and how a building can rewrite the story of a campus. 🔗 Discover more on our education design: https://lnkd.in/gQvfMKQM 📷 Imagery by Hufton+Crow #Architecture #Design #UniversityofGlasgow #AdamSmithBuilding #EducationDesign #CampusLife #InnovativeSpaces Professor Eleanor Shaw OBE

How can healthcare design keep pace with a rapidly changing world? In the lead-up to the launch of the UK's National Health Service (NHS) 10 Year Plan, Oana Gavriliu, Principal and healthcare architect, discusses five key trends that are converging — digitalisation, community care, preventative medicine, decarbonisation, and adaptability — creating a pivotal moment not just for British healthcare, but as a potential blueprint for systems worldwide. It's a transformational shift, and as Oana highlights, the NHS is uniquely positioned to make it a reality. What do you think will have the biggest impact on the future of healthcare spaces? 🔗 Dive into Oana’s insights on a new era in healthcare: https://lnkd.in/e2PsG4hr 📷 Murdoch Square health precinct in Perth, Australia.

Gender equity isn’t just a commitment for us at Hassell—it’s a movement led by the incredible women shaping our industry every day. “Gender equity is more than just a commitment to me, it’s a personal issue and one that I am truly passionate about improving—not only at Hassell but across the broader industry. And that’s why we’ve been intentional in developing a strategic Gender Equity Framework that is continually evaluated and that holds us accountable to our decisions. It is critical for us to continue to introduce and maintain innovative policies to support flexible work, equal access to parental leave, the elimination of bias – and the myriad other levers that we have available to make positive change and achieve our ambitions of an equitable future. “At Hassell, diversity makes us stronger. We’re always pushing to be a more progressive design practice—one that fosters a truly inclusive and supportive environment for our talented team. Our vision is clear, our commitment is real, and we’re here to make a difference.” – Liz Westgarth, Managing Director, Hassell In the spirit of this year’s International Women’s Day theme ‘March Forward: For ALL Women and Girls’, we’re celebrating the significant progress women are making across our industry by spotlighting some of the talented females making their mark at Hassell. 🔗 Read more about some of Hassell’s female talent here: https://lnkd.in/gFxf8_pC #Hassell #InternationalWomensDay #GenderEquity #IWD #WomenInDesign Lucy O'Driscoll Emily Moss Tanya Golitschenko Zoey Chen Natalie Busch Minmin Long Ingrid Bakker

Reaching a significant milestone, the First Building at Bradfield City Centre in Sydney, Australia on Dharug Country was officially opened yesterday by Premier of NSW Chris Minns, alongside Deputy Premier Prue Car, and Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully. Designed by Hassell, with First Nations knowledge from Djinjama, the First Building is adaptable, circular and resilient — designed to meet the evolving needs of Australia's first new city in over a century. Premier Minns paid homage to Australian engineer John Bradfield (whom the new city is named after) drawing synergies between Bradfield’s design ethos and the First Building. “A new city requires a big dream — and today it’s incredibly exciting to see that dream taking shape here in Bradfield. The way this building plays with natural light, the way it sits at home in the landscape, its incredible attention to detail, its craftsmanship — not to mention the innovation and progress that will happen here. In short, it’s a beautiful place — and inside these four walls, serious work will be done,” said Premier Minns. Setting a new benchmark for how cities can grow sustainably, the First Building is an exemplar of regenerative design that embodies a deep respect for the environment and a forward-thinking approach to designing places that respond to the challenges facing our planet today. And at Hassell, this is the future we’re working towards. 🔗 Read more about the First Building here: https://lnkd.in/gXNcdm-g 📷 Photography by Vinchy Wu/ Hassell #Hassell #PlacesPeopleLove #WesternSydney #BradfieldCityCentre #FirstBuilding #AMRF #Innovation #CityShaping #DesignwithCountry #RegenerativeDesign #SustainableFuture #Architecture #Design #LandscapeDesign Bradfield Development Authority Advanced Manufacturing Readiness Facility (AMRF)

Imagine a business landscape where profit and purpose don't compete but work together in harmony. That’s the vision behind B Corporations — a global movement of companies rethinking the role of business. As a Certified B Corporation™, we believe there’s a more sustainable path to creating a better future — one of action and purpose, inspiration and community. This movement is powered by an emerging generation of people using business as a force for good. We call it Gen B.

Check out our collective impact and learn how to support — or become! — a B Corp by following the hashtag #GenB. Hassell Managing Director Liz Westgarth says: “As designers, we have a responsibility to create places where both people and nature can thrive. But we know we can't achieve this on our own. To fulfil our purpose, we must collaborate with other like-minded organisations that share our vision for meaningful, authentic change.” 🔗 Explore some of our commitments to creating a better future here: https://lnkd.in/efyXnBUU #BCorpMonth #GenB #BCorp #BCorporation #Sustainability #RegenerativeDesign #SocialImpact #Design

Sydney Metro Western Sydney Airport is a rare opportunity to profoundly impact the culture of the new city of Bradfield using transport infrastructure as the primary economic and social driver.    Located within Dharug Country, the six new metro stations, designed by Hassell will be connected by a 23-kilometre corridor of restored Cumberland Plain landscape. One of those stations — located at Luddenham — will support the future employment and research precinct in the area, providing critical access to job opportunities, as well as the neighbouring mixed-use residential development and public green space.    The stations are designed to make the transport experience accessible and seamless, encouraging people to move in a way that supports the future wellbeing of the community and the surrounding environment. 🔗 Learn more about Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport here: https://lnkd.in/g9QiDB_s 🖼 Imagery by Doug + Wolf #Hassell #UrbanTransport #Rail #SydneyMetro #PlacesPeopleLove Djinjama Plenary Group Webuild Siemens RATP Dev
