Notre Dame Catholic College, Everton, United Kingdom. Architect: Sheppard Robson, 2014. Detail of wide-span roof with skylights.
The building form and layout allows for flexible disposition of educational spaces, yet follows commercial office floor plate logic. The banding of primary and secondary accommodation, service routes and notional circulation routes, and the disposition of day lighting and ventilation through the facade, allows for easy adaptation of room shapes and sizes without requiring any modification to the fundamental building infrastructure. The building is divided into permanent elements (the stair cores, floors) and adaptable elements (partitions, ceilings, services). In the medium term, this will allow the school to easily adapt, meeting changes in teaching methodology and policy.
