The University of East London’s New Academic Building forms the centrepiece of the Stratford Health Campus, a transformational redevelopment designed to establish a multi-professional health hub for Newham and the wider east London community. Delivered for the University of East London by GRAHAM, the project brings together academic teaching, learning and research spaces to support the expansion of medical and healthcare education, subject to General Medical Council approval.
Circle Development has been appointed as Clerk of Works, providing independent quality monitoring to support the delivery of a complex education environment that must meet rigorous academic, clinical and sustainability standards.

to 60% targeted carbon emissions reduction
The New Academic Building has been designed to set new benchmarks in sustainable education development. Targeting BREEAM Outstanding, the project incorporates low-carbon construction approaches, cross-laminated timber, circular design principles, on-site renewable energy and intelligent building systems to reduce operational energy demand.
Beyond the building itself, the wider Stratford Health Campus places strong emphasis on community engagement, public realm and wellbeing. The campus vision includes new green spaces, accessible public areas and long-term partnerships with healthcare providers, local authorities and community organisations, ensuring the development delivers lasting value for students, staff and local residents
Take a virtual walkthrough of the new Health Campus and explore the interior and exterior design of a development created to support cutting-edge healthcare education. Designed as a multi-professional health hub for Newham, the campus brings together state-of-the-art teaching and research spaces, opportunities for collaboration with local partners, and welcoming environments that encourage learning, innovation and community connection.
Our role as Clerk of Works focuses on safeguarding construction quality throughout the build, ensuring that workmanship, materials and installation align with the design intent, technical specifications and statutory requirements.
