Information
Mace Plus delivered this new academy for 1,400 students from early years through to sixth form in Islington, London.
The new co-educational school has places for 1,400 pupils from early years through to sixth form. The scheme required the demolition of existing buildings and sustainability was a major consideration in the construction of the new building. In addition to biomass boilers, photo voltaic cells and highly sustainable cladding and curtain walling, the new school is naturally ventilated to ensure the minimum carbon footprint.
The existing school remained open and operational throughout the works and was demolished once the first phase was handed over in September 2007. Final completion was October 2008.
