Today the Lecture Hall, Library and Gallery sit among robotic arms, digital prototyping equipment, extensive research archives, audio-visual facilities, workshops, studio spaces and the AA bar, all of which connect with the workshop, fabrication areas and accommodation at Hooke Park. These resources are constantly evolving to reflect the requirements of the highest quality of contemporary architectural education, and the constant interaction between these varied components of the school embodies the intimate and interdisciplinary atmosphere that permeates all of the activities of the AA.
Hooke Park’s Westminster Lodge dormitory accommodates up to 16 visiting students and tutors in eight rooms each with two single beds, a toilet, shower and wash basin. The rooms are centred around a communal space with a wood-burning stove. Food at Hooke Park is provided in the refectory at lunch and dinner. Most of the ingredients come from the kitchen garden or farmers in the local area, and the food is vegetarian to be inclusive for a broad range of diets.
