PROJECT:Newham BSF- Forest Gate Community School

LOCATION: Newham

DATE: 2008 - 2011

Forest Gate Community School, which has specialist statuses in Business and Enterprise, and in Applied Learning, has been extensively remodelled to provide improved circulation, classrooms and a new entrance building.

The main entrance has been switched from the north of the site to the south. Here the new entrance building incorporates a new four court sports hall and acts as an extension of the shop frontage of the Town Centre. A new landscaped entrance court, as public realm, provides a fanastic new face to the school, advertising its services to the local community and beyond. A new Enterprise Cafe and conference suite strengthen the school's specialist status.

The former Community Learning Centre at the heart of the school has been converted into a fantastic open plan breakout space, creating a stimulating learning and performance zone over two levels.
