Repurposing
The re-purposing of the old Grammar School building will create a mixed-use, flexible complex providing a new sixth-form centre, a facility that will support training and lifelong learning courses, bookable workspaces and meeting rooms, and the Trust’s central services.
Enclosing the courtyard will create a new heart space accessed from a new entrance piazza and served by a coffee shop for use by the building users and the public. The heart space will be available as a general social meeting place, an exhibition space, a performance area, or a large meeting or presentation space
The outdoor space will be adapted to include and create new tree and flower planting, along with bee and butterfly corridors, with an area designated for a “market garden” primarily for SEND pupil use.
