Sci-Tec Facility shortlisted for RIBA East Midlands Award
We are very excited that our new maths and engineering project for Oundle School has been shortlisted for a prestigious RIBA East Midlands award. The aim of the project, which completed in October 2016, was to bring the interrelated subjects of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths under one roof in one building, to fertilise cross-curricular learning and the organic sharing of ideas. Through close consultation and innovative design we delivered a state of the art STEM facility which encompassed new build and clever refurb to fulfil the client's aspirations.
