COMPLETED PROJECTS The Multi-Use Games Area is placed between the school (completed in 2012), and the new sports building. The two buildings are connected by a covered walkway that encloses the MUGA on 3 sides providing a covered route, bus waiting area and cycle storage on the Southern side, and entrance to the sports building on the Western side, and sun protection adjacent to hard play on the Northern side. A double skin fence around the MUGA is designed for climbing plants to eventually create an external green wall enclosure. The principle volumes within the building are composed as 3 different height spaces within a rectangular footprint. For this project a specific brick blend and mortar colour has been developed, “Beaucamps Blend” that incorporates within it the hues of the local granites. Materials were selected to withstand a marine environment including anodised aluminium curtain wall and macatious iron oxide coatings to galvanised finishes, typically used on civil engineering projects. Natural cedar has been used for the exterior walkways and high level louvre cladding. Visual warmth has been achieved in the interior with the use of plywood linings to the halls, larch cladding to the pool and Glu-lam beams spanning the major spaces.↑Sports link to main school building. 2012©Edmund Sumner COMPLETIONOUR ROLE: Architecture | Interiors | LandscapingCLIENT: States Education Department 20.5MPROJECT MANAGER : JLLCOST CONSULTANT : Gardiner & Theobald CONTRACT VALUESTRUCTURAL ENGINEER: Peter BrettSERVICES ENGINEER: Hoare Lea 8650M²MAIN CONTRACTOR: R G FallaFIRE CONSULTANT: Ramboll SAFE AREAACOUSTIC CONSULTANT: Hoare LeaLANDSCAPE CONSULTANT: UBUFURNITURE CONSULTANT: British Thornton 29

The school is located at the edge of the210M² village in an enviable rural setting. Much of the school is surrounded by open fieldsAREA with woodlands in the distance. Built in 1927, the school is set in extensive grounds which include a playground, sports field, woods, a conservation area and pond. With a building extension completed in 1999, the school provides accommodation for over one hundred pupils aged from four to eleven years old. 33

However, the school faces a major obstacle in its efforts to improve further, in the configuration, size and overall condition of the buildings that it occupies. The existing school building has developed in phases. The first built in 1927 is a traditional school building constructed from red brick with a pitched roof. To one side is situated a modern extension in a similar side. On the other side are extensions which were built in the late 1960s, consisting of the hall and the school kitchen. The overall visual impact is not a pleasing one and a major objective of the project now under consideration is to deal with the visual disharmony and produce a building or series of buildings which sit easily with each other and with their rural surroundings.34

CURRENT PROJECTS The site lies towards the North Eastern edge of the campus. Characterised by the historic architecture and setting, the buildings here are predominately Gothic Revival / Neo-Gothic in nature, dating back to the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. Our scheme, featuring three steeply pitched roofs, representing the 6 Chemistry Labs below, creates a subtle but important architectural link between the original campus which is heavily reliant on these forms, largely designed by the Architect Philip Charles Hardwick. Not only does this roof articulate a building form which is contextually appropriate, but also provides a focal point to the vista from the primary entrance to the school on Prince’s Drive, as well as providing the appropriate form to deal with the internal and functional requirements of the Chemistry Labs within. 1← Competition stage proportion system diagram illustrating the north elevation. 2↓ Project under construction, May 2018 and July 2018 ( 3↓).23 39
