Bilston Primary School - Final Year Project as part of the Bilston Urban Village Regeneration Scheme:

As part of my final year at University, I was assigned a brief from a real-world client (Wolverhampton City Council) who was looking to include a new primary school at a set location within the Bilston area of Wolverhampton. This was part of a regeneration scheme covering a much wider area. The brief was basic in it's content and much of the design decisions were left to each student's discretion:​

• 2 form entry (60 Students per year)

• Contextual considerations in relation to surroundings

• Area considerations both internal and external

• Minimising finances in construction

• Utilising surrounding contours to full advantage

• Determining the most suitable and efficient access points; both vehicular and pedestrian

• Consideration of secure design for both students and neighbouring residents

• Utilising surrounding landscaping to full effect

• Maximising environmental performance through minimised energy usage and green design

• Adaptable and flexible design
