Description

The magazine series helping to improve the school environment. An old laboratory at Langley School in Olton, Solihull, is transformed in to a vocational classroom. Staff had avoided using the room as it was so unpopular with students. Project manager John Cregg works with the school premises manager to recycle the laboratory furniture to build a stylish informal bar area sheathed in stainless steel for students to use for informal discussions. With a design developed by Sjolander da Cruz Architects in Birmingham, the room is restructured and a seminar zone with modern furniture installed to achieve a stylish contemporary space for Year 10 and 11 students.The programme also features the Design Council's conference on innovation in school learning environment and showcases one of their Schools Renaissance case studies at Great Sankey School in Warrington.
