Laing O’Rourke Europe managing director Paul Sheffield was quoted by the website as saying: "We are delighted to be continuing our ongoing relationship with both Imperial College London and Voreda and look forward to delivering a residential building which will create a landmark building for the White City Campus."

The two interconnected hubs form one of the first major parts of the innovation ecosystem for the college’s new White City Campus.
