Sevenoaks School Science & Technology and Global Study Centre

Completion: 2018
Location: Sevenoaks, Kent

A state of the art Science and Technology Centre, on a magnificent site overlooking Knole Park. The laboratories are arranged on three floors around a top-lit atrium, lined with display vitrines. The building is conceived as a science workshop; a place for experimentation and discovery.

The Sixth Form Centre provides sophisticated social, study and educational space for the school’s 400 sixth formers, linked to an extensive multi-purpose space for exams and events of all kinds.

“The beauty and proportion of the buildings radiate calm, as well as a sense of collaborative endeavour. The materials – brick, wood, and glass – are warm, human and inviting. ”

— Katy Ricks, Sevenoaks Head

“A great cathedral of a space, full of life and light”

— RIBA Jury

“The transparency and light, as well as these open spaces for discussion, collaboration and study, have brought to our students and our teachers a new dimension.”

— Sevenoaks School Head, Katy Ricks
