CURRENT PROJECTS Having successfully delivered the award- winning Les Beaucamps High School in 2013, Design Engine fought off strong local and international competition to win a new commission from the States of Guernsey Education Department (now the Committee for Education Sport & Culture): the replacement of the existing La Mare de Carteret High School and Primary School in Guernsey’s Castel parish. The new development on the La Mare de Carteret site will provide a total gross building area of 13,478 m² comprising: • Replacement High School facilities for either 600 or 960 11-16 age pupils. • Replacement two-form entry Primary School facilities for up to 420 pupils aged 4-11. • Replacement co-provisioned Pre-school accommodation for 32 children aged 3-4. • County/national competition level indoor sports facilities within the schools’ new sports facilities. • Relocated Communication and Autism Support Service facilities within the two schools. • Community facilities for families and the wider community within the schools and sports buildings.↑Visualisation of the entrance approach 2021from the car park with access to the mainschool from a bridge over the lake. completionour role: Architecture | Interiors | Landscaping 54.5Mclient: States Education Departmentproject manager : Jones Lang LaSalle contract valuecost consultant : Gardiner & Theobaldstructural engineer: Buro Happold 13470M²services engineer: Buro Happoldmain contractor: TBC areabuilding control: States of Guernseyacoustic consultant: Hoare Lealandscape consultant: Coe Designfire consultant: Buro Happold 51

Materials for the project have been selected to have a tonal match with the coastal context around La Mare De Carteret: brickwork with variation in blend to ensure a high level of visual texture, bronze cladding which echoes the coastal granites to the west of the site and facades including wall surfaces of coloured ceramics taking their cue from the colours of Guernsey fishing boats. The project received planning consent in November 2016. 53
