Informal seating in ground floor foyer. Uppingham School Science Centre, Uppingham, United Kingdom. Architect: ORMS Architecture

With an L-shaped building that completes a courtyard providing a science department, the building, inside and outside, feels like a top university department rather than a school. An intense attention to detail permeates every part. The materials are very well judged and, while much of the interior is white, the use of timber and colour lends a strong sense of place. The collegiate plan, with a beautifully made concrete colonnade, reinforces not just a sense of permanence, but of seriousness, even gravitas, that will surely lift every young mind.
