The conversion and refurbishment of former six-storey office building into an AP Performing Arts College with acoustically sensitive rooms and formation of a double height theatre won Sense of Space the SPACES President's Award (Society for Public Architecture, Construction, Engineering and Surveying).
For the President, this project demonstrated excellent strategy for supporting the mental health of young adults with additional needs via provision of a wide range of activities. As well as an enthusiastic example of how arts successfully contributes to the harmonious development of children, and how it can help them overcome different challenges. This 14 to 19 Free School has made a big social impact to the local community in an around Central London.
The refurbishment of the building itself is successful but the impact and outcome of the facility far outweigh the material things.
