In 1959, Basil Spence and Partners was commissioned to plan and design the first of the new wave of new or “utopian” univeristies to be built in Britain after the Second World War. The brief called for the campus to be built on a rural 94-hectare site approximately four miles from the city of Brighton over a 15-year period, and included a provision for future expansion. By 1971, the practice had designed 17 buildings for the new university and had won several prestigious awards for their work, including a medal from the Royal Institute of British Architects and a Civic Trust award.
