A stripped back brick colonnade is given character by the expressive roof scape lined with CLT. This attractive addition to the school campus has large communal spaces as well as galleries and 10 classrooms.

Confident creation of space encourages unforeseen use; simple sustainable technology keeps its demand for heating and cooling low.
