Milton Keynes Council and Cranfield University have begun their search for a landmark design for MK:U - the new university planned for central Milton Keynes.

An international architectural competition launches with a panel of innovative public figures involved in architecture and urban planning.

The winning design is expected to deliver "outstanding architecture", landscaping, public realm and "student experience"

Initially, entrants are asked to submit an expression of interest (https://competitions.malcolmreading.com/mku/) and 5 shortlisted entrants will then be announced in spring ahead of a public exhibition of the competing concepts, held in Central Milton Keynes.  

The winning design will be revealed in summer 2019.
