Shaping the Future of Dentistry

LonDEC provides a specialist training environment for dental skills, medical emergencies, and decontamination and infection control, alongside flexible seminar and lecture facilities for up to 45 people.

Concept and Strategy

The centre brings together specialist clinical training spaces, flexible educational accommodation and academic support functions within a compact, purpose-designed facility.

A central academic support area creates a single point of contact for students across teaching, student services and wider support functions, helping to deliver a more connected and accessible student experience.

Reception, waiting, breakout and office spaces are arranged to support both structured learning and day-to-day academic activity, creating a joined-up environment for students and staff.

‘The Dental Institute is delighted to be working in partnership with London Deanery to create a state-of-the-art education centre to enhance hands-on training and related continuing professional development for all members of the dental team. It is hoped that LonDEC will be a platform on which to develop and build innovations in lifelong learning of immediate practical relevance to the clinical practice of dentistry.’
