News archive - September 2009Sample school underway in Durham SHOTTON HALL Secondary school is one of the sample schools for Durham’s BSF programme, which recently reached financial close. Earlier this year, Atkins was selected by the consortium Inspired Spaces (led by Carillion), as one of the design consultants to deliver the £500m programme, which will see 40 schools delivered across Durham over the next ten years in four distinct waves. The new secondary school will specialise in performing arts, with key facilities placed at the front of the school to create a dramatic first impression and inspire those who enter the campus - the theatre itself is clad in metallic shingles to shine and appear “gem-like”. Once completed in December 2010, it is intended that the new facilities will be open to the community, providing space for local art and community groups to meet, enabling the school to play a key role in the social regeneration of the area. As part of the masterplan, Atkins has also designed Shotton Hall Primary School, which is incorporated onto the same site. It is proposed that the two schools share access to an outdoor performance area as well as a service yard and combined heat and power plant. « |
