4 storey newly constructed building for 11 to 18 year olds with a separate sports building. Within the building, a robust material palette of unfinished concrete, timber, and painted blockwork combines with super scaled graphics and artworks to foreground the learning environment and encourage exhibition and display. This Stirling Prize-shortlisted city Academy accommodates 1175 students and 128 staff. The local community, who were extensively consulted with during the project, has access to much of the school and its sports facilities.
