Client: Dulwich Preparatory School (Governors of) Location: Cranbrook, Kent Value £4 million Form of Contract: JCT Year of Completion: 2008 Architects: Lee Evans Partnership Quantity Surveyor: The Woodley Coles Partnership Provian Construction has successfully completed work to dramtically improve teaching and ancillary accommodation at Dulwich Preparatory School's lower school campus at Cranbrook in Kent. The scheme, designed by architects Lee Evans Partnership has seen Provian Construction replace the lower school's old timber framed classrooms with a substantial new school building, hall and 'learner' swimming pool. Conversion of the existing school buildings into staff accommodation is planned for the future. A key design element is the striking entrance to the new building, a semi circular glazed drum on columns which will create a focal point clearly visible from the road through a newly landscaped area. The eco-friendly school features roof lights to maximise daylight and natural ventilation and as a sustainable method of providing low environmental impact energy, a woodchip boiler was installed to provide all of the lower school's hot water as well as heating the swimming pool
