UCL School of Management has agreed a deal with Canary Wharf Group to expand its presence in One Canada Square to circa 150,000 sq ft.
The organisation is taking levels 46 and 47 increasing its footprint to six floors of the building. UCL’s space at One Canada Square includes a state-of-the-art lecture theatre and executive education suite event spaces for conferences and large events.
Last year, Canary Wharf Group achieved its best leasing performance in more than a decade completing more than 780,000 sq ft of deals.
Davide Ravasi, director of the UCL School of Management, said: “Our continued expansion at the heart of Canary Wharf demonstrates our draw for students and staff, strengthening our competitive edge in the sector. Our students benefit from the Wharf’s diverse neighbourhood, with direct access to industry connections and collaborations with businesses in the area. Growing our presence here reinforces our mission to lead the future of business and society through cutting edge research and education and reinforces Canary Wharf’s position as a destination where education, innovation, ambition and business converge.”
John Mulqueen, chief investment officer of Canary Wharf Group, added: “UCL School of Management’s continued growth highlights Canary Wharf’s focus on innovation, ambition and community. Through our regular networking events and initiatives, including at Level39, we bring people together to support growth, continuous learning and build communities. The new space at One Canada Square enables UCL School of Management to further extend their courses with students benefitting from access to global organisations and events as well as the mix of retail, leisure, hospitality and open spaces here on the wharf.”
