Buro Hapoold worked with architects AEDAS on this project to create a new, purpose built secondary school in the Holland Park Conservation Area. The aim was to create a building that “neither looks nor feels like a school”, the new building was designed to accommodate the 1,500 pupils and 100 staff, within a modern, flexible teaching environment, occupying a much smaller footprint than its 1950’s, campus style predecessor. Arranged over 6 levels, the school comprises a single atrium running the full length of the building to create a social hub and carry light deep into the building, with teaching wings on each side.

Buro Happold has been appointed by the Battersea Power Station Development Company to provide multidisciplinary engineering design and consultancy to Phase 1 of the redevelopment of Battersea Power Station.
