The King's Building is a Grade I listed building located in the Strand Campus of King's College London, London, England. Originally named the College Building, the King's Building was designed by Sir Robert Smirke in 1831.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Strand Campus Tour )〕 It is the founding building of King's College, and was built between 1829 and 1831 on the land granted to the College, which is next to Somerset House. There are a total of eight floors in the King's Building: Basement level, Ground level, Levels 1 to 4, Level 4U and Level 6.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Campus maps )〕 King's Building houses several offices (Estates & Facilities Offices, Admissions Office, Accommodation and Cashiers’ Office), Lecture Theatres (Edmond J. Safra Lecture Theatre, Anatomy Lecture Theatre), a chapel, hall and rooms (Great Hall, Council Room, River Room, Somerset Rooms, St David’s Room), catering outlets and student computing rooms. ==King's Building Foyer== King's Building Foyer is the old entrance hall of the building. Two marble statues of Sappho and Sophocles are placed in the foyer. They were bequeathed in 1923 by Frida Mond, the wife of Ludwig Mond and a friend of Israel Gollancz, Professor of English Language and Literature at King's College London. The two statues symbolise King’s motto of ‘''sancte et sapienter''’ (‘holiness and wisdom’).〔 The papier-mâché version of Reggie the Lion, the mascot of King's College London Students' Union (KCLSU) is also placed in the King's Building foyer, behind Sappho on the staircase outside the Great Hall.〔 The King's Building Foyer regularly displays free exhibitions in foyer display cases.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Exhibitions )〕 The exhibitions are curated by King's College London Archives and Special Collections, Liddell Hart Centre for Military Archives at King's, and sometimes co-curated with other organisations outside the College, such as the British Dental Association Museum. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「King's Building, London」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
