AJ Awards
Shortlisted, 2022
The Dyson STEAM Building is a new centre specialising in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics at Gresham’s School in Norfolk.
The building’s layout and scale has been designed to create a positive relationship with the existing school chapel and Britten building, creating a traditional three-sided quadrant around the chapel lawn.
The design supports students’ educational needs, encouraging curiosity and inspiring creativity. Simple construction methods and minimal finishes allow the building to express its own engineering and structural design.
At the heart of the building, a central gallery acts as a flexible hub for the art department, hosting exhibitions, lectures, and events, while surrounding classrooms offer high-quality learning environments with expansive views across the campus and surrounding green spaces.
An understated, elegant material palette helps the new architecture blend with its setting, creating a calm and uplifting environment for learning and development.
