EATON HOUSE, THE MANOR SCHOOL,
CLAPHAM, LONDON
ADAMS+COLLINGWOOD
Eaton House The Manor School was a challenging but inspirational
project for the Adams+Collingwood Architects team. The Clapham
school needed to increase its teaching space while also furthering
its ambition to become the greenest school in London.
Adams+Collingwood Architects helped the school to progress
these aims while also dealing with challenging access restrictions.
Access to the construction site was exclusively through a 1.2m
wide side passage, meaning that a crane was required to lift in all
heavy equipment including the JCB’s and dumper trucks and heavy
material loads over the roof of the 4 storey front building.
Not only that, but all work had to be completed during the school
holidays, so that the establishment could remain fully functioning
during term time. This meant adhering to an extremely tight
timescale during every phase of the process.
