LOCATION:  Houghton le Spring, Tyne & Wear, UK

DATE:  Completed 2000

PROJECT VALUE:  £1.2m

The school's governing body commissioned Sir Frederick Snow & Partners Ltd to carry out work including site investigation, subsequent site inspection, and structural design for a replacement school for 210 pupils.

The new building contains seven classrooms, a hall/dining room, library, staff room, changing facilities and administrative areas. The library acts as the focal point of the school, with its two storey circular shape topped by a 6 metre glazed cone.

The classrooms, having load-bearing blockwork walls with a tiled monopitched timber roof, were positioned either side of a wide barrel-vaulted atrium supported on a series of centrally-placed steel trees.

Sir Frederick Snow & Partners Ltd has also been employed by the London Borough of Southwark to carry out numerous projects in its schools.  Please follow link to view full details on projects carried out on Southwark Schools
