The conversion and extension of the old Shirley library building into four main nursery rooms providing flexible, adaptable spaces for group play and learning. Designed to provide light and airy spaces throughout. Roof lights, creative internal and external fenestration and glazed screens allow natural light to the internal areas with views out from virtually everywhere in the building. Covered outdoor areas provide all-weather creative play and learning. The modern design compliments the 1950s original building with sympathetic but differing materials. Bright colours internally accentuate spaces and draw the eye through the building & represent the different age groups.
