Project summary
This project comprises a new two-storey building as well as the comprehensive refurbishment of two existing buildings including a locally listed Victorian one, providing accommodation and improved teaching spaces for 600 secondary school pupils as part of Tower Hamlets’ secondary education building programme.
Rooftop playgrounds and a covered ‘street’ between buildings maximise the potential of the tight urban site. Completed on time, in four phases, the school remained operational throughout.
