Library Resource Centre, Ellen Wilkinson School for Girls

This new purpose built library resource centre (LRC) supports a wide range of teaching, learning and study models. As well as quiet areas, there are also areas for discussion, group study and social interaction. Flexible classroom design incorporates state-of-the-art ICT which can accommodate future developments in pedagogy and technology.

Set adjacent to Ealing conservation area in London, Â鶹´«Ã½¡¯s design for this new building enhances the school campus while remaining sensitive to its urban setting. Elegant with classical proportions and clean lines, the LRC is a catalyst building informing the architectural language of subsequent development. Rainbow stripes of coloured glass create a dynamic and uplifting aesthetic ¨C splashes of colour are constantly in motion, animating the interior areas as the light and weather changes outside.? During darker hours, the LRC illuminates the campus by creating a lantern effect as it¡¯s lit within. It is a beacon of inspiration for the whole school community
