Engaging architecture
Designed using state of the art BIM technology, the new STEAM Hub champions innovative design and together with the new curriculum, the school was named one of the most innovative and influential independent schools in the country. The contemporary external aesthetic is continued inside the building’s internal spaces with exposed services and structural steel on show, allowing students to fully engage with the architecture of the building.
