New Academy Aylesbury Estate, London, London, United Kingdom. Architect: Allies and Morrison, 2012. Interior View-Detail of seat

---

The Aylesbury Estate is currently undergoing regeneration and this new Academy, with its Engineering specialism, will address the shortfall in local school places for boys. Proposals retain, refurbish and remodel a four-storey Victorian Board School building and add new accommodation to maximise use of the tight urban site. A new metal-clad pavilion provides a welcoming entrance and a new four-storey brick building creates a range of open and enclosed learning spaces, grouped around a central atrium, for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM). A flexible new performance space opens onto a linear play area which incorporates space for outdoor teaching and dining and leads to a new stand-alone Sports Hall. Facades incorporate generous windows for natural light and ventilation and the buildings will connect into a local district heating system.
