Education
Batley Grammar School
Requirements
To create more space, using intelligent design to deliver a larger library, resource centre and additional classrooms. Enhance the environment to meet the needs of the school without compromising the historical integrity of the building and its features.
Outcomes
MWA devised a plan that breathed new life into the school’s historic hall, transforming it and creating the extra space out of thin air – literally!
OUTCOME
So that every inch of the former assembly hall could be used, a steel mezzanine was installed, this doubled the available floor area, allowed unused space to be utilised and created a larger functional library.
The ground floor of the old hall was also split into a new corridor, stairwell, and a large classroom with an acoustic moveable partition wall.
Keeping the historical integrity alive, two stained-glass windows that were bestowed to the school in 1918, were also positioned within the hallway to be enjoyed in all their glory.
