Text description provided by the architects. The client brief was to provide a high quality, forward thinking, modern building that would make a statement at the entrance to the College and would set out the intentions of the College as they move to the future. The building was required to relocate the two existing faculties from tired and long-lived temporary classrooms. The Headmaster led the client team and guided the client brief from the governors. The brief was to provide ICT classrooms and drop-in, music classrooms, music practice spaces, a recital space and top quality recording facilities. The building was to be funded entirely by donations and therefore the challenge of providing a very cost effective building was always a key driver. The client wanted careful control of a tight budget but always aspired towards delivering something special.
