The school’s interior is bright and airy, with roof lights and light wells plus internal glazed screens.
The design brief called for the latest technology, high sustainability, low energy use and low maintenance, long life materials.
Observation and discussion about the day to day working of the school and the aspirations of the teaching staff led to a design considered to be a whole team effort.
The building features balconies as external teaching areas for first floor classrooms and a place to view the playing fields. All the ground floor classrooms also open onto external teaching space.
The new Fairfield Preparatory School replaced the previous system-built classrooms and were designed to be welcoming, comfortable and stimulating.
The glazed canopies, terraces and gallery provide a strong visual statement to the public face of the Loughborough Endowed Schools campus.
There are ten classrooms, four learning support rooms and other spaces including a gymnasium, kitchen and dining hall, library and medical room.
