Walters & Cohen Architects developed designs for a three-storey
building that wraps around a private courtyard. It was crucial
that the new building complemented the site’s industrial heritage
as well as the existing buildings surrounding it; achieved with a
striking mixture of weathered concrete and glass. The landscape
complements and connects the many elements of the site; a civic
square shared with the Malthouse is an important focal point of the
campus. Domestic gardens bound two other sides of the College
building, while, to the north, the new sports court will be used by
the College, King’s School and local community, creating a diverse
and connected school community, integrated with the historic
surroundings.
The building comprises 34 ensuite bedrooms with boarding for 80
students, several flats for staff, classrooms, and specialist teaching
facilities. The classrooms are fully equipped, flexible places
allowing for a mixture of traditional learning, digital research,
personal interaction and discussion. The International College
teaches students aged 11-16, acting as a stepping-stone for those
entering the English school system from abroad.
