The main objective here was to add a completely new, modern and welcoming administration and reception area in front of the existing entrance to suit the size of the school today and better encourage parents to access the school and facilitate dealing with visitors. To achieve this, it was injected with more feeling of light and colour in order to enhance natural lighting as well as designing a lighting scheme that enhances all features after dark. The new building is connected to the existing by a minimally framed glazed link that just touches the existing building. The idea being that as one passes through the new building and into the glazed link, one is still able to see the entire existing façade due to the transparency of the new link. The existing foyer space was remodeled and provides new meeting rooms and a teacher training facility within the existing building.
