Alleyn’s School, Dulwich

The development at Alleyn’s Junior School in Dulwich includes a new hall and reception building, freeing up space within the existing building for additional classrooms. The existing building will be remodelled bringing the library, IT suite and multi-function room to the heart of the school alongside the required new classrooms. ArchitecturePLB were appointed as the architects via a design competition to help the school increase the capacity of their infant and reception classes and redevelop their existing facilities.

UBU designed the landscaping strategy which will bring together the new and existing elements and include spill out spaces for the classrooms, and an adventure playground.

A red ‘Ribbon’ feature will tie together the new play space weaving through the school, to the enhanced ball court and playground, concluding at the entrance to the Junior school
The tight spaces leading off the classrooms of the Junior school will provide level access and colourful intimate spaces, which will act as a canvas for the students and their creative play.

The scheme will create a series of vibrant spaces creating a backdrop to the impressive new architecture of the reception building.
