Denham Village School
Overview
The project comprises new accommodation to facilitate the school changing from an infants school to a primary school. The design is on a tight site in green belt and is connected to a Grade II listed building.
Work started on site April 2020 and was completed in February 2021.
It was developed in close consultation with all stakeholders, including the Listed Buildings Officer. We considered construction access and buildability issues to enable the constraints of the operational school environment to be successfully managed.
