John Roan School
As part of Greenwich BSF, the John Roan School planned to relocate to a new brown field site on the Greenwich Peninsula, next to the Millennium Dome. Here, the school formed an early focus of a whole new master plan, combining community, residential and commercial development.
Planned to be arranged over two sites, the school took the opportunity to re appraise how the curriculum was delivered and explored radical new models for how the school, and associated community facilities, are arranged on the new site.
One of the key constraints was the size and setting. At the centre of the new development, land costs are high and buildings are up to 12 storeys in order to create appropriate density and value.
The school is under the same pressures and the design is based on multi-storey solutions, with classrooms, social and play areas at upper levels. The lower floors are reserved for facilities that can accommodate community use – sports hall, main hall, dining and library – and which will provide a lively street frontage. The views westward towards the City will be exploited through a glazed atrium that gives access to all levels.
