New build & part-refurbishment of a Federated Infant and Junior School |
Client |
Croydon Council and All Saints School |
Budget |
£250,000 |
Architect |
Surface to Air Architects |
Completion Date |
September 2008 |
In 2006, All Saints Infant School federated with All Saints Junior School to create one school run as a single entity. Surface to Air's
design remodels the entrance to improve visibility, create a more welcoming entrance for the school and encourage interaction between the children
and the staff. The design also proposes a new combined central staffroom located as an infill block. This will complete the ‘central spine’ of
administration and staff areas joining the two schools into one. This well proportioned and naturally lit space will be a comfortable place where
staff can meet together, exchange ideas and prepare their work. Through the manipulation of light, colour and texture, the building intends to
inspire its users; and through its architecture, exemplify the unified brand of the newly federated school.
