The Shackleton development draws its name from the famed
explorer Ernest Shackleton, whose legacy of courage and
discovery in his Antarctic expedition echoes throughout this
remarkable building’s history.

A LEGACY OF EXPLORATION AND EXCELLENCE

The name Shackleton was originally given to a part
of this building when it formed part of the renowned Warsash Maritime Academy. This structure has long been a cornerstone of maritime education, where generations of seafarers trained to navigate the
world’s waters.

The stories of the academy and Shackleton himself are forever entwined, each representing a spirit of resilience, exploration, and a deep connection to
the sea. This restoration not only breathes new life into an iconic building but also honours its place in the rich tapestry of maritime history.
