The eastern elevation provides a definate end to the site
Jeremy Cockayne Download Original
Final phase of a three part college rehousing to purpose-built accommodation on a single site
Phase three adds a new wing of classroom accommodation, administration offices, studios, darkroom, drama room and computer suite to the existing campus.
Attached to the existing college buildings, completed between 1993 - 1995 by Powell Moya Partnership, the new building provides a definite end to the eastern elevation of the site. Maintaining the height of the central spine this phase allowed the addition of a south-facing sculpture park and remaining areas of the site to be completed and integrated into the overall landscaping scheme.
The long linear three-storey block uses an exposed concrete base structure with a lighter steel and laminated timber superstructure, supporting a split pitched roof with clerestory lights. Clad in yellow brick and incorporating large expanses of glass the new phase mimics the materiality of the existing buildings to provide consistency.
