The new building is a sensitive contemporary design, which sits at the heart of the prep school’s campus, whilst at the same time being a discreet new addition in the school’s landscape, and the setting of the 18th Century Grade II Listed main building. A gently-tilted roof subtly lifts the eye to focus upon the historic Listed building.
The design is a sustainable concept which provides excellent natural light and ventilation, eliminating the need for mechanical ventilation and cooling, and with lowered heating costs.
The new building forms the start of a programme of enhancements to the 80 year old school’s campus, and is one of a series of recent commissions for independent schools undertaken by Lyons+Sleeman+Hoare.
