NEW LONDON AWARDS 2020

Shortlisted in the MEANWHILE category
This innovative meanwhile use of a former secondary school in Euston leverages the education and employment opportunities of HS2 whilst minimising the impact of a major construction site. A new demountable Construction Skills Academy is designed to facilitate enabling works for the new station infrastructure whilst restricting the transmission of noise and dust to surrounding homes. The former school buildings are repurposed to provide high quality workspace and community facilities, including new allotments and gardens, maximising the social value of this site for the next ten years.
