MJP Architects is a private British architectural practice based in Spitalfields London established in 1972 and chaired by Sir Richard MacCormac. The practice officially changed its name from MacCormac Jamieson Prichard to MJP Architects in June 2008.[3]
MJP Architects have worked in a variety of sectors from early social housing schemes in Milton Keynes and several education projects at Oxford and Cambridge universities through to the training centre for Cable and Wireless in Coventry, the Wellcome Wing of the Science Museum in London[4], the Ruskin Library at the University of Lancaster[5], the Southwark underground station for the Jubilee Line Extension[6] and the Coventry Phoenix Initiative[2]. Recent projects include the Kendrew Quadrangle for St Johns College, Oxford; new staff accommodation and staff facilities for the British Embassy in Bangkok[1] and university masterplans at Cambridge, Warwick, Birmingham and UCL.
Since October 2007, MJP Architects has been owned and ultimately controlled by its employees, through an Employee Benefit Trust.[7]
