Chafford Hundred Campus

The cool-looking, split-level building is imaginatively designed by Nicholas Hare Architects, with a central lift and an impressive atrium.  Built for the future, it combines the principles of energy saving with a flexible space for learning and recreation.

The design brief was to provide a simple-to-use system that offered the latest technology and was suitable for school productions and additionally, for when the space is used by the local community.

The versatile performance space features a hall with an end-on stage. A sound proof screen can be pulled across the stage front, allowing the stage-side space to be used as a drama studio, while the hall itself can be utilised simultaneously for other activities.  

Two separate systems are therefore installed - that can be combined when required.

The hall features a stage at one end with an acoustic wall to enable it to be separated from the hall and used as a drama studio.
