Winner – Houlton School, Houlton, Rugby, submission by Morgan Sindall Construction
| Client – Urban&Civic
Project Value – £39.4 million |
Architect – van Heyningen & Haward
Contractor – Morgan Sindall Construction |
A new state secondary school on the site of an ex-radio mast station comprised of a listed building conversion, new sports hall, two new teaching blocks, new infrastructure, and landscaping.
The partial demolition and re-use of the former Edwardian buildings is unique and included a complete fit out which is sympathetic to the history of the site. It was developer led, but the architect and contractor are to be commended for ensuring the history of the site remains part of the school’s future and central to the new community. A fantastic and totally unique development, brimming with history whilst providing a state-of-the-art educational facility.
