A new £11m purpose built two-storey special school and nursery for children with moderate to profound learning disabilities, providing over 140 places for 2-14 year olds. The school shares a campus with London Meed Primary School and Oakmeeds Community College in Burgess Hill, West Sussex. The linear plan is punctuated by a series of external courtyards designed to capture views through the school to the landscape beyond, bringing light and air to the heart of the building. The courtyards open out at first floor level onto generous cantilevered terraces that break the overall linear mass into a series of smaller timber ‘houses’. Testimonial:I would like to offer my thanks to Neil, Johanna and the team for the service provided on the Mid Sussex Special School project. They have demonstrated patience, professionalism and no little skill in helping us manage a sometimes complicated and confusing brief, demonstrated a good understanding of our procurement process and design delivery needs, the result of which is the successful delivery of the project to site and a highly satisfied client. I would have no hesitation in recommending Re-Format and look forward to developing our working relationship into the future.
