Project Detail
The scheme includes a double height flexible education space for secondary and sixth form students and a mixture of learning activities with a computer suite and a more contained space for individual study located on the first floor
A large glazed window opening provides views onto a deck and beyond into the courtyard.
Additional natural lighting is provided by clerestory windows and top lights.

Additional accommodation includes Accessible WC, storage, and kitchenette area.
The new building is linked with the existing building to provide a flexible art learning centre and offers a suitable venue for drinks parties, exhibitions and social occasions for the school.
