Designs developed for Canary Wharf school
On the boards is a primary school in Canary Wharf whose design supports the client's Personalised Learning approach, which enables children to decide how they learn.
Characterful, dynamic spaces establish a strong identity that encourages creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship, and SEL. The flexible layout, with STEAM labs at the center of each floor, enables teachers and students to freely expand out, and find ways of learning that suit them.
