"Architype has invigorated the community and allowed us all not only to own the final designs but ultimately own this uniquely exciting building"

Pete Davies, Community at Heart, Barton Hill

This new Children's Campus incorporates a new primary school, created from the amalgamation of existing school buildings, together with a Children's Centre and community hub.

The design has evolved through an extensive consultation process, and creates a positive presence within the streetscape. Foyer spaces and courtyards are open and welcoming, whilst the building form encloses secure playgrounds and sheltered outdoor learning areas, set amongst existing trees.

A rigorous environmental agenda includes very high levels of insulation, excellent natural daylighting and passive ventilation.

The children, along with the artists involved with the project, have created a website documenting the progress of their school:
