Support the Drawing Studio at Arts University Bournemouth

The Drawing Studio at Arts University Bournemouth is more than a space to create; it is a celebrated artwork in its own right. Designed by world‑renowned architect, AUB alumnus, and Honorary Fellow Professor Sir Peter Cook RA, it stands as a visionary symbol of the power of creativity.

The studio was the first purpose‑built drawing studio to be constructed at a UK arts institution in over a century, and Sir Peter Cook’s first completed building in the UK. It is a landmark that shapes our campus, our culture, and the artistic journeys of every student who steps inside.

This iconic blue pavilion offers a truly inspiring environment where students from every discipline can explore ideas, experiment fearlessly, and grow their creative confidence. Natural light, bold design, and a sense of openness combine to make the Drawing Studio a place where imagination feels possible.
