Part of Sunderland BSF, Washington School is situated close to the main approach to Sunderland and our remit to redevelop parts of the school has ensured that it will act as a ‘shop front’ for education to visitors entering the region.
We have incorporated a new external plaza into our design, which integrates the current accommodation with new entrance facilities and created a central ‘heart’ space with four connecting hub spaces that will inspire students, teachers and local residents alike. We also specified a green roof to ensure the school is environmentally friendly and has a lowered carbon footprint.
Washington School also has a special place in _space group’s history, as it was the first project the company designed and completed using BIM and Autodesk’s groundbreaking Revit software. Thanks to this scheme, we have changed our design outlook for the better, delivering high quality buildings with great efficiency and skill.
