December 17, 2010 Category: Education, Public Buildings

Designed by Watkins Gray International, Deptford Green School Located in New Cross, South East London, the £27m new build project, which is part of Lewisham‘s BSF programme, will create a 11,600 sq m school able to accommodate 1300 pupils, including accommodation for 25 children with dyslexia.

The design features include larger than standard classrooms offering flexible teaching formats, the organisation of the majority of teaching spaces into four distinct learning zones aimed at the different student age groups, and a dining area that is part of the social and circulation space which is central to the school.

Central to the design concept are energy efficient systems and installations, including solar shading to windows, high levels of thermal insulation, and use of energy recovery systems, with heating provided by a bio-mass boiler.
