Urswick School
LondonThis is a new build 750 pupil secondary school with a sports specialism. Part of our strategy was therefore to showcase the school’s achievement in sports, provide closer adjacency between indoor and outdoor sports activities and improve access for the local community. Implemented in two phases, the building provides a generous covered civic space at the heart of the new school to act as the main social gathering area.
