We design schools and colleges that inspire and transform the lives of pupils, staff and their local communities. Our inclusive, adaptable learning environments accommodate different ways of thinking, feeling and learning.
We have over 25 years experience working with mainstream and specialist schools, colleges, academies and universities around the UK and Ireland. We’ve worked with local authorities, contractors, developers and academy trusts. Our education team has been privileged to collaborate with the Department for Education (DfE) on various frameworks, both as architect and technical advisor.
Our thoughtful design approach and in depth experience ensures that every project in our diverse education portfolio delivers engaging, resilient and adaptable teaching and learning spaces.
In specialised SEND settings, our design teams follow the lead of pupils with SEND and their staff, continuously seeking feedback to meet their specific requirements and build on individual strengths. Our education team has worked on over 2,000 SEND places across the education sector. We create opportunities to break down barriers and foster inclusivity by incorporating spaces that can be used by parents, carers, families, local clubs and the wider community.

We’re proud to design resilient university environments that can adapt to changing student expectations, evolving learning pedagogies, and innovations in technology. Fundamental to our approach is our belief that architecture should inspire and nurture future generations.

Our education team has worked with the UK and Ireland’s leading universities for over 25 years.
We’ve designed facilities for world-class researchers, state-of-the-art learning and teaching hubs, and welcoming student accommodation. We’ve developed strategic masterplans to unify and future-proof disparate campuses. We’ve designed exciting new innovation districts. We’ve restored listed buildings, designed highly sustainable medical schools, and industry-led centres of excellence.
Our architects, interior designers, landscape architects, masterplanners, researchers, sustainability and social value specialists all collaborate to create attractive, wholly sustainable places of learning.
