Wilkinson Primary School, Wolverhampton, United Kingdom. Architect: Architype Limited, 2014. Corten steel cladding in arrival ar


Wilkinson Primary School was commissioned by Wolverhampton City Council. The staff and pupils had input into the innovative and imaginative design of their new school which features classrooms and group rooms clustered around shared, central activity hubs. The ground floor classrooms enjoy direct access to the outdoor areas, while large windows throughout the building provide bright, well-lit spaces. The Passivhaus design was chosen for the school because it creates exceptional indoor comfort and meets the local authority’s requirement to reduce the building’s energy consumption. Wilkinson Primary School building utilises high levels of natural light and excellent ventilation to create a healthy and positive atmosphere that helps motivate the pupils and aid concentration.
