Inglehurst Junior School’s new entrance lobby and reception area enhances the front of the school as well as improving security and safeguarding.
The extension was designed by Leicester City Council’s in-house architect and constructed using a modern structural glazing system to complement the most sensitive front elevation of the building.
The design’s transparency allows the school’s original design and fenestration to be appreciated after the new development. This was an important element due to the school being locally listed as a heritage asset.
The scheme has not only enabled the school to have a focal point of entry but also provided a shop window that increases the perception of being integrated with the local community and wider surrounding area.
Internally, there is a seamless transition through the glazing system into the ceiling finish, a polished concrete floor, exposed and surface fixed services, period lighting and raw and undecorated finishes.
The contemporary design has not only enhanced school security and safeguarding, it has also created a light and spacious environment which has had an exceptional impact upon the school community.
