NEW LONDON AWARDS 2020

Shortlisted in the LEARNING category

The project comprises the re-modelling of a two-storey ‘turret’ at the top of the existing Queen-Anne style, locally-listed Torriano Primary School to create a roof-top extension with an external learning terrace. The space enables pupils to carry out practical experiments for exciting hands-on science learning; a science hub for the school, as well as the wider community - to invite other local schools to visit, learn together and share. The designs were developed with the schools’ pupils by testing, drawing and modeling potential activities.
