Putney High School Performing Arts Centre

Project Description

Putney High School have converted an existing hall into a performing arts centre with a design that encapsulates the old building to provide extra storage, access facilities and teaching areas.  The transformed space introduces the latest music and speech systems together with balconies, retractable seating and a dividing partition that provides flexible usage.  Reversible oak and fabric wall panelling introduces the ability to adjust the degree of reflection and absorption to suit speech and music.  The performance space has a sophisticated lighting and audio visual system. The copper clad extension to the rear has introduced a green room on the ground floor along with an overhanging sound/vision control room.  A large gallery room with glazed partitioning sits between the performance hall and a new external balcony used for pre-performance gatherings. The project is a finalist in the AJ Retrofit Awards 2016 for ‘Best Education Building’
