Today marks the first day of term for a generation of students who will benefit from the practice’s stunning design for North Leamington School.

Using a campus model the scheme creates a family of buildings that respond to the green belt location and the needs of students and staff. Underpinning our approach to the design was a commitment to environmental design and this been expressed in the Breeam Excellent rating achieved by the school.

At the College’s Leamington campus, the first students are occupying the recently completed residences designed by Robothams.

The project has provided 100 study bedrooms in two blocks with a shared facilities building linking at ground floor level. The rendered and cedar clad exterior was given careful consideration to respond to Leamington’s regency architecture.

Work is about to begin refurbishing and adding to Bromsgrove School’s science facilities, where Robothams have designed state of the art laboratories for chemistry, physics and biology.

The contract has been let to Kier Moss who are due to complete the project in
spring 2010.

We have been appointed to prepare a concept design and development brief for the Canley Community Hub, it will be the focus for City Council resources in the area as well as have a strong healthcare and education theme.

Local people are working with the practice to design the centre and create a sustainable vision for the building including a focus on environmental performance.

Commissioned in 2007 the practice is providing architectural and lead consultant services on this major education project, due for completion in 2009.

The part complete concrete frame is part of the package of measures designed to make the building as environmentally friendly as possible.

A revolutionary new centre for the construction industry starts on site in September in Coventry.

The building itself has been designed to be a benchmark project engendering best practice in procurement, health and safety and environmental design. Again there is a case study sheet for this in the projects section of the website, can you link to this. Download our case study >>

The accommodation is split over two storeys and the footprint responds to the context by mirroring existing buildings.
