Perkins&Will has announced the appointment of Lisa Pike as Higher Education Practice Leader for its London studio, reinforcing the firm’s commitment to shaping future-ready learning environments.
Strengthening Higher Education Expertise
An architect, strategist, and regenerative design advocate, Lisa brings more than 15 years of global experience supporting higher education institutions through complex estate transformations and evolving academic models across the UK and internationally.
Her expertise spans campus strategy, spatial innovation, and long-term resilience planning — helping universities align their physical environments with institutional vision, sustainability goals, and changing student expectations.
Designing Beyond the Classroom
At a time when universities are reimagining how their estates support teaching, research, and student life, the London studio continues to advance immersive and socially engaging learning environments.
The design approach recognises that education extends beyond formal teaching spaces into transitional and communal areas that foster collaboration, wellbeing, and connection. By integrating flexibility and adaptability into campus planning, projects aim to support evolving pedagogies and interdisciplinary engagement.
A Regenerative and Future-Focused Vision
Lisa emphasises that universities are not simply constructing or refurbishing buildings — they are shaping environments that influence generations to come.
With a regenerative mindset and solutions-driven approach, she will guide institutions in delivering spaces that reflect their values while ensuring resilience, adaptability, and long-term impact.
