Academic honours for Urban Splash duo
Urban Splash founders Tom Bloxham and Jonathan Falkingham have received recognition from two of the North West’s universities.
The renowned Manchester School of Architecture (MSA) has appointed Bloxham, Urban Splash chairman, as a visiting Professor of Urban Regeneration – something Professor Kevin W Singh RIBA NTF FRSA, head of Manchester School of Architecture, described as bringing “a fascinating perspective of development and regeneration to our students across a range of our programmes. We are very excited to see the contribution he will make to our already world-class School of Architecture”.
From 2010 to 2015 Bloxham served a five year term as the Chancellor of the University of Manchester, which jointly operates the school with Manchester Metropolitan University.
In Liverpool, Falkingham has also been recognised, with the University of Liverpool awarding him an Honorary Degree – one of ten recipients who were awarded for their ‘significant contributions to the city’.
