We are delighted to announce the commencement of an exciting new project at @readingbluecoat School in Berkshire.
The scheme will see the comprehensive transformation and extension of the existing hall to create a dedicated Performing Arts Centre. Designed to foster creativity and collaboration, the new facility will comprise a flexible auditorium, specialist classrooms, drama studios, and a generously proportioned café space. This social hub will be framed by glass curtain walling, ensuring a light-filled and contemporary environment that connects seamlessly with the surrounding campus.
Alongside this, the adjacent music practice room annex is undergoing a sensitive remodelling to accommodate a state-of-the-art recording studio, complemented by a Kalzip roof and larch timber cladding to enhance both performance and appearance.
Construction began with asbestos removal and demolition works, paving the way for the forthcoming groundworks phase.
We look forward to sharing further updates as this exciting project takes shape.
