Roding Valley High School – Expansion Project

  • Client: The Board of Governors - Roding Valley High School
  • Value: £2.7m
  • Location: Loughton, Essex
  • Services: Architecture & Design, Project Management

Overview
The expansion project required a new building, together with internal remodelling works to support a one form entry expansion and increased pupil numbers.

The Solution
The extension wraps around the corner of an existing teaching block to generate a courtyard. This provides an opportunity to create vibrant outdoor social spaces in a previously underused corner of the site.

Carefully nestled within extensive mature landscaping, the design is contemporary and embraces the principles of sustainable design employing a green roof, mixed mode ventilation strategy, high thermal mass and precisely engineered daylighting provision.

The Outcome
Our team was successfully able to create five classrooms and a central learning hub incorporating a new library, sixth form centre, gender-neutral toilets and a wash area.
