Objectives
We worked with the school to prepare a
development plan for a new build high school in
place of two existing schools, each of which had
insufficient floor area to accommodate rising
pupil numbers.
The existing teaching facilities were a mix of single
and multi-storey accommodation built during the
1960s and 1970s. A core feature of the brief was
that the new building should be of architectural
quality both internally and externally, using
traditional materials and construction methods.
Our View
We felt it was important to work closely with
the school governors and teaching staff in order
to ensure that we were providing a teaching
environment which would meet not only the
current but future needs of the school.
The new three storey structure provides a mix of
general teaching class bases for sixth form studies
plus an IT suite and library. Each teaching space was
carefully planned in consultation with the school
heads of department.
The Results
This has proved a great success, fulfilling all
objectives.We continue to be involved with the
school, providing new accommodation and
enhancements, including a new city learning centre,
sports hall and music room. |
