THE KING’S SCHOOL
INTERNATIONAL COLLEGE
Walters & Cohen Architects balances industrial heritage with
contemporary design at the new International College for
The King’s School, Canterbury. In 2016, The King’s School
in Canterbury asked London-based practice, Walters & Cohen
Architects, to undertake a feasibility study for a 1.25-hectare
ex-industrial site on the edge of Canterbury’s city centre. The
study resulted in an updated masterplan for the site that includes
an International College, staff housing, and a sports court with
changing facilities. It also included a new drama centre and theatre
in the 19th-century Malthouse building, which was undertaken by
another practice.
The scheme was granted consent with unanimous support from
the City of Canterbury’s planning committee in March 2017.
