My Pictures on RedBubble
There was a look, wasn't there, that was popular with for many institutions. I am thinking of schools, universities, factories, office blocks, government departments etc. Not elegant necessarily, but light filled and easy to move between all parts of the building.
ReplyDeleteI love the school's large gardens
And I suspect Helen, that the lack of historical details on their webpage could mean that architectural plans were somewhat generic but still someone must have designed it.
ReplyDeleteLove those school entrances :)
ReplyDeleteJayne you may have guessd that I love the name of the school incorporated into the metalwork.
