Yoko Ono Lennon Centre

Our home, the Yoko Ono Lennon Centre, is a brand new, purpose-built facility for teaching, learning and research. As well as The Tung Auditorium, the centre includes the 600-seat Paul Brett Lecture Theatre, a smaller lecture theatre for 450, the Fröhlich Café Bar, seminar rooms and backstage facilities.

Ellis Williams are the award-winning architects responsible for the design of the Yoko Ono Lennon Centre. The team behind the design were Project Architect and alumna of the University of Liverpool, Jade Meeks (BA Hons Architecture 2012, MArch 2015) and Senior Associate and alumnus, Mush Saleri (BA Hons Architecture 1995, BArch Hons 1998).

“It has been a huge honour and thrill for Ellis Williams Architects to deliver the design for the Yoko Ono Lennon Centre, especially because the team behind the design are alumni of the University of Liverpool. To be part of this prestigious, unique and prominent building on a site that the team are so familiar with makes it extra special and we hope gives inspiration to the graduates of the future.”
Jade Meeks (BA Hons Architecture 2012, March 2015), Project Architect and Mush Saleri (BA Hons Architecture 1995, BArch Hons 1998), Senior Associate.
