Haddonstone clinch £40m Royal College of Music project

 

Global leading cast stone manufacturer, Haddonstone, has been chosen to supply architectural stonework for a prestigious new £40 million Royal College of Music capital campaign project. 
 
The Northamptonshire-based company produced a total of 57 tonnes of bespoke stonework for a new Courtyard at the prestigious College’s South Kensington campus.  Overlooked by the College’s distinctive Victorian Tower, the Courtyard will provide a relaxing space for visitors and students.
 
The Courtyard project is part of a £40 million philanthropic campaign, More Music: Reimagining The Royal College of Music, that will invest in new facilities and expand the College’s scholarship programme.
 
Haddonstone’s specialist craftsmen worked with John Simpson Architects and Cunningham Stone Masonry to produce a wide range of stonework that would blend seamlessly with the original redbrick College buildings. 
 
130 individual components were produced in a bespoke colour using wet-cast limestone.
 
The Courtyard was completed in January 2020.  The final College development will complete this summer.
 
Nicola Clements, Marketing Manager at Haddonstone said: “Haddonstone is delighted to have worked on The Royal College of Music’s new Courtyard project.  Our team worked meticulously to ensure the new development integrated seamlessly with this historic building and it is wonderful to see its completion."
