Completed 2007

A project completed by Andrew Harrison whilst a Director at ORMS Architecture. Built for The Kings School, Ely in Cambridgeshire, the new Arts school and Sports hall, builds on the schools already high standards in Art and drama. 

Located on a site directly adjacent to 14c Ely Cathedral, a Grade I listed monument and the Old Palace, also Grade I, the site and design had to carefully respond to the historic buildings.

The practise created a simple modern solution with an elegant, modern vernacular building clad in timber with a slate roof with inboard gutters and aluminium detailing. The exposed roof structure internally adds drama to the creative arts spaces.
