King Edward VI Camp Hill School for Girls

King Edward VI Camp Hill School for Girls, Kings Heath, Birmingham
The new Learning Hub at King Edward VI Camp Hill School for Girls in Birmingham represents a significant addition designed to meet educational demands while harmonizing with the school's existing environment. This modern facility includes 2No. science laboratories, 2No. classrooms, and a training room, serving as essential teaching and training spaces for both students and wider community use. The architectural concept of the building was influenced by the intention to create a natural courtyard that integrates seamlessly with existing campus buildings. This led to the development of faceted copper and brick facades that elegantly follow the contours of the driveway.  The teaching and training areas are clad in pre-patinated copper, imparting a contemporary and sustainable aesthetic, while circulation zones and support rooms are housed within a robust buff brick "spine" that encircles the rear of the structure.
The integration of these materials not only enhances the building's visual appeal but also ensures functionality and durability. By strategically preserving natural elements and aligning with the site's layout, the Learning Hub enhances the overall campus atmosphere, fostering a conducive environment for academic excellence and collaboration. The completion of the Learning Hub exemplifies our commitment to delivering innovative educational environments that meet modern standards while respecting the natural surroundings. It not only expands the school's capacity to accommodate diverse educational activities but also reinforces its role as a hub for learning and community engagement. This project underscores our dedication to creating sustainable, aesthetically pleasing, and functional spaces that support the educational mission of our clients and inspire future generations of students.
