The Hub
The school wanted ‘The Hub’ space to be designed in
a manner that would encourage students to pursue
independent learning on top of various activities and evening
classes. It had to be a flexible space that didn’t compromise
on any area of education, whether that be sports,
independent learning or joint classes. Local collaborations
and wider initiatives had to be kept in mind too, in order to
make ‘The Hub’ a one size fits all community building that
could be utilised as both a learning space and a pavilion.
Another more practical consideration was that work on the site had to minimise disruption to visitors and school traffic.
Understandably, we needed to develop and build ‘The Hub’ without impacting the day-to-day life of the school. As a
with audio-visual facilities in order to create a building near the front of the school site, it was essential that ‘The Hub’ was in accord with the surrounding campus and represented the values the school wished to project. After all, first impressions matter.
The Hub’ features a variety of top-class study booths with audio-visual facilities in order to create a dedicated space for students to pursue the desired independent learning. A learning wall, catering facilities and design links between indoors and outdoors were also vital for providing multifunctionality.
The flexibility of the space had to include sports, which were intertwined into the design of The Hub’. With the building so close to the astro pitch, we ensured the layout was perfect for hosting match-day teas, as well as parents looking to watch their children compete.
These spaces were designed large enough to accommodate larger crowds, as well as those looking to spend time comfortably studying.
