he current facility, having
existed in its current three-storey
form since 1984, is no longer fit for
purpose. The new building will be an
outstanding, purpose-built facility for
design. It will enable us to excite young
people about the world of design,
demystifying the design process and
encouraging creativity. We see the
development of the next generation of
engineers as our duty.
Its proximity to the existing Art and
Design building o ers opportunities for
cross-curricular work and sharing of ICT
facilities. The new building will house
all the existing Design equipment and
much more will be added. Some of the
highlights include: an ongoing project
workshop, which will give the possibility
of delivering motor vehicle technology as
part of the wider school curriculum with
sta and boys building a kit style car; an
electronics workshop; a modelling area
including workstations and 3D printing
solutions and a GRP moulding drying and
spray area.
We will keep you updated with
the progress of the building project in
future editions of Concordia and on the
school’s website.
