We were appointed as Architects, Lead Consultant, Principal Designers and Quantity Surveyors for a new Boarding House at Rugby School, which is part of an eight-phase refurbishment of the School’s existing boarding facilities. The new Boarding House provides an additional 60 bedrooms, as well as hosting a large dining hall and atrium, communal areas, including a roof terrace and accommodation for the Housemaster, Assistant Housemaster and the Matron. The sustainable Boarding House has incorporated the use of advanced off-site manufactured bathroom pods to provide en-suite facilities, reducing construction time and ensuring premium quality. The impressive double-height atrium provides flexible spaces for socialising and study, for both pupils and staff. The new development is the school’s first purpose-built boarding house since 1938.
