Holmes Miller were commissioned through the DfE High Value Band A1 procurement route, to design a newbuild 5,800sqm Severe Learning Difficulties school that will cater for up to 200 pupils. The fully accessible, single storey building is orientated around 3 courtyard gardens providing direct access from classrooms.

The design incorporates a full CLT structure, with exposed timber internally, aiding in the creation of a natural and tranquil setting for pupils and staff. It will also meet DfE NZCiO standard, and embrace a wider wellbeing brief as set by the school through the SSB.
