Designed by London and Norwich-based LSI Architects, the new facilities will provide a ‘wishbone’ style extension to an existing boarding block, with 115 new en suite, single study bedrooms and support accommodation.
LSI project associate Jeremy O’Rourke said: “The new building makes a bold, contemporary architectural statement, with large areas of white render, timber cladding and glazing.
“The sustainability agenda has been a key determinant of the design: the highly insulated building has exposed concrete surfaces internally to provide cooling in the summer and will be largely ventilated by natural means.”
