Approach

We were commissioned to design two new secondary schools on one single education campus set within a collegiate parkland landscape

The design endeavors to fuse together the shared elements of a combined campus while retaining the unique identity of both schools.

Each school accommodates 900 pupils and consists of 2 or 3 storey teaching wings relating back to a central atrium/hub that provides pupils with a variety of vibrant and flexible social spaces.

Our proposal was developed through close consultation and review with key stakeholders to create a design solution which is stimulating, welcoming and motivating for pupils, staff and the local community.
