Primary School
The client's brief was to create a state of the art multi-use library without losing any of the schools precious free space. A cantilevered two storey library extending over the existing bitumen hardstand designed by Rob Anson fitted the brief perfectly.

Versatile elements
The clever design has created even more play area for the children, with the bonus of a large under croft to use when it is raining. It also doubles perfectly as the drive through pick up bay for parents in the afternoons. Matching the face bricks of the library to the existing school, but with a "twist", the new build has added a contemporary element to the entire school.
Use of high spec glazing and solar screens will ensure that the running costs of the new library will not burden the school in years to come.
