Oakham School needed a new sports and cricket pavilion to replace the outdated, but much-loved existing cricket pavilion ‘Stumps’.
The new pavilion was to embody the spirit of the school whose core aim is to deliver high quality sports tuition and participation as part of its holistic educational approach within a broad and stimulating curriculum.
The design of this new sports pavilion was developed to meet the high standards of an eminent sporting institution and the various teams that represent it.
The new pavilion is centrally placed at the heart of the school’s sports facilities, with views across the various pitches and the cricket square. A backdrop of mature trees frames the new building.
The simple, legible layout is safe and welcoming to both Oakham School pupils and those from visiting schools. There are four multi-purpose changing rooms. Post-match teas and meals are served within a clubroom environment.
The building provides the facilities required for teams, officials, parents, and other spectators from the school or visiting. There is also adequate storage for all sports equipment within the roof space.
A cupola housing clock faces in each direction sits proudly on the ridge line in keeping with traditional pavilion styling. Rainwater is captured for irrigation of playing surfaces.
