The Barry Buildings are the most prominent teaching site at the school, named after architect Charles Barry Jr, and date from 1870 when the school moved to its present site. Barry’s design was admired for its eclectic style at the time and he was awarded a gold medal by the Royal Institute of British Architects, with his work at Dulwich College cited alongside other major works. The external work included the repair and replacement of severely weathered terracotta and stonework at roof level, with like-for-like replacement of many of the original terracotta finials, pinnacles and lattice panels; refurbishment, pointing repairs and cleaning of six of the principal exterior facades; repair and refurbishment of all windows; repairs to the roofs; and cleaning of the Cloister elevations. Major refurbishment works were also discovered to be essential to the central ‘lantern’ spire feature of the main building, involving significant repairs to its underlying structure, as well as works to renew roofing and timberwork.
