George Green?s School appointed Lawrence:King following an invited competition to produce a feasibility study which would form the basis of the School?s future arts and drama facilities development plan.
Lawrence:King?s approach to the project has been to embrace the school?s aspirations and look at a total development plan for the future that will provide a modern inclusive facility designed as a collection of flexible spaces which work within DfES guidelines and budget constraints.
This approach offers a great opportunity to open up the school and theatre for use by a variety of external community groups and businesses by creating a more welcoming and open public face that will help forge links and embrace the local community.
Phase 1 of the project, upgrading the existing theatre was completed on time and in budget, ready for the start of term in September 2007.
