Merchant Taylors’ School Masterplan

Every school has its individual context, ethos and aspirations. As well as supporting a complex learning community, school buildings also have the potential to act as an important civic focus. Our designs respond to a school's particular vision and circumstances, to create learning settings that facilitate and inspire, supporting young people in achieving their full potential.

Over the last 25 years we have developed an outstanding reputation for our work in education, having delivered over 100 successful school buildings, including nurseries, primary, secondary and Special Needs settings. Our designs benefit from a detailed understanding of learning trends and of the relationship between pedagogy and space.

Merchant Taylors' School Masterplan

Completion Date 2010

Contract Value

Client Merchant Taylors' School

ArchitecturePLB’s comprehensive 20-year masterplan was carried out following a school-wide engagement process and in advance of our Design Centre commission which completed in 2016.

As well as helping the school to plan its long term investment strategy, the masterplan also proved invaluable in negotiating planning consents in a very sensitive setting which includes listed buildings within the Metropolitan Green Belt.

The masterplan created space for a new perimeter road that reroutes vehicles away from the centre of the site to allow discrete and safe access.

ArchitecturePLB have delivered four phases of the masterplan including a new Design Centre, a remodelled History department and a purpose built Geography building. We are currently working with the school on proposals for a new Sports and Performing Arts complex at the heart of the school.
