Tower House, the current accommodation was acquired in 1946 when the Academy trained 15 to 20 students a year. The figure today is 230. Currently the Academy hires rooms to train its students throughout London, last academic year this cost over £200,000 this also means that students and staff have to travel far and wide. Currently home to the Royal Ballet School, 155 Talgarth Road will provide LAMDA with solutions to all its problems caused by chronic lack of space. LAMDA urgently needs 10 rehearsal studios and smaller teaching rooms all of which will be provided by the new premises as well as accommodation for the administration including LAMDA Examinations and LAMDA Business Performance. 155 Talgarth Road provides LAMDA with a particularly cost effective solution to its problems. This will be the first phase of our relocation although there is potential for further development; future work will exploit the full potential of the site and of the Academy as a leader in its sector of training.
