HISTORY - The Sixties
In the early 60s the first job came from Central Government; new establishments for the Royal Corps of Signals at Blandford and the Brigade of Guards at Pirbright. The firm then won the limited competition for the St Paul's Cathedral Choir School.
Following the Robbins report, ACP received a commission for the Master Plan and ensuing buildings for the new University of Essex. ACP staff rose to 117, another office was opened in Morwell Street, until the move to Soho Square.
Whilst this developed, overseas work burgeoned with educational work for the World Bank in Tunisia, and in Trinidad and Tobago where it was responsible for a programme of 23 schools.
In the UK work expanded with award winning housing in Highgate, laboratories at Hull and Keele Universities, the Agricultural Research Council, a third building at Durham University, Bristol University, and work at the Royal Berkshire Hospital.
