Redbridge College
16 June 2016
Work on the new performing arts building and teaching block at Redbridge College’s Chadwell Heath campus has completed.
The theatre is made up of music recording studios, teaching spaces and a 264-seat performance space. The building is conceived as an elevated translucent box sitting on a plinth of black brickwork, clad in coloured, translucent glazing to create a vibrant facade.
The teaching block provides 1930m2 of flexible teaching space and echoes the style and form of the existing campus structures, ensuring a coherent campus identity. The use of modern materials and colours, such as the multi-tone, dark grey rainscreen cladding on black brickwork and the brightly coloured ‘hoops’ that frame the window openings, refresh the look of the campus.
Both buildings achieved the BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating.
