A truly exceptional scheme incorporating state of the art Bauder Blue roof with automatic irrigation and PVs. The playground has been transformed into an external amphitheatre. The modular Velux rooflights incorporating black out blinds provide a daylit drama space that can be blacked out. LED drama lighting controls allow students to participate in lighting scene setting. The dining facilities have been extended into the space making an exciting transitioning space to the outside amphitheatre area. A new heart has been added to the school which was lacking in the previous design of entrance and dining.
Highly Commended
