Extract

When the family of a major film maker offers you his archive, what do you do? University of the Arts London rose to this challenge, and achieved a major strategic goal – creation of a state-of-the-art Archives and Special Collections Centre, which would be a fitting demonstration of the University’s mission and aspirations and of Stanley Kubrick’s legacy. Through project management and collaboration, in less than two years, the flagship Centre was established. It will be a beacon of good practice and inspiration for future creative practitioners in the arts.
