EXEMPLAR SCHOOLS FOR THE FUTURE

We were included in a selected group of practices, asked to produce benchmark designs for exemplar schools of behalf of the Department for Education and Skills. Working in collaboration with Sarah Wigglesworth Architects we undertook a design for a primary school.

The designs are intended to develop a shared vision of what are ‘Schools for the Future’, to create models for well-designed schools, push forward the boundaries of innovation and inspiration, support the delivery of Building ‘Schools for the Future’ and encourage industry to develop new ways of providing school buildings.

‘Through the ‘Building Schools for the Future’ programme, with the remarkable exemplar designs we have just seen, we intend to build such schools nationwide. Every school up to a good standard, and very many of the exemplary quality we see today.’
