Testimonials

As Group CEO of Wellington College China, I engaged SZ/Kampus for several projects and always found the team to be professional, innovative and responsive. They also left the superb legacy of a high tech digital Design Manual to take the group through the next few years of development- minimising potential errors, saving money and protecting the brand. Since then Wellington has continued to engage SZ/K, knowing its work to be of the highest calibre, yet flexible enough to meet the needs of different contexts and budgets.

We appointed Kampus International Limited in April 2026 as architects and interior designers for the campus, from concept design to support during construction. What recommends Kampus is their expertise, and in particular their specialist experience of designing for education. It shows in the quality of the work. It also shows in how they work. They are flexible, pragmatic, unfailingly good humoured, and willing to design to a budgetrather than leave it to others to solve.

What was extremely helpful on top of all that is that they accepted the work at all, in April, six months before our opening date, with the lease on the building still not secured and the tender for builders only just beginning. The number of moving parts, and the timetable, deterred others.

They understood what we needed rather than what a university is assumed to need, and the design has given the campus an identity of its own, familiar and yet distinct. A brief of this kind does not stand still: we have asked them to redesign layouts more than once as our requirements developed and local conditions dictated, and each time they have done so in short order. They have also worked seamlessly with our builders here, ensuring the right choices from what the market here can supply. Set against what they have delivered, and the circumstances they delivered it in, their fees have been excellent value.

We recommend Kampus International without hesitation for education, architecture and design commissions, and would be glad to work with them again.

The Kampus team achieved something unlike any design team I have ever come across: A design process that creatively engaged our whole school community, the outcome of which is a complex of buildings that translate our values, aspirations and identity perfectly into the interior experience and the enabling building design.

At BSB, we have a long-term vision to create an environment that sets us apart from other schools. From the start, we wanted an architect and designer who could bring character to the project while staying true to our values. Working with Kampus has been a great experience, and we believe their success comes from the time and effort they put into understanding the core principles that define our school and its teaching.

The Kampus has played a key role as lead consultant, architect, and designer for the concept and schematic stages of our new dining and humanities building, as well as the refurbishment of our early years and primary buildings. They engaged closely with senior leaders, staff, and pupils to develop a strong brief and then collaborated with our local executive architects and project managers for the next phases.

Their involvement continues as we move towards the successful completion of this project, which marks the first phase of our masterplan.

Kampus's "Experience Design" approach transformed how we were able to present our new Alleyn's school campuses in Hampstead. Their stunning designs brought the vision to life and enabled us to share the Alleyn's experience with parents long before the doors open – showcasing our investment in exceptional learning environments and experiences for every child and increasing admissions as a result.

“I love listening to Dave Judge talk about school brands and the student experience. He is such a passionate and inspiring communicator. And the way he and his team at Kampus then convert these insights and apply these paradigms into visual and physical school spaces is quite magical.“

This school is not only an inspiring experience but highly innovative in terms of school design.
