We are delighted that our project at the former Maria Fidelis School site in Camden has been shortlisted in the NLA Awards 2020. This innovative meanwhile use of a former secondary school in Euston leverages the education and employment opportunities of HS2 whilst minimising the impact of a major construction site on surrounding homes.

A new Construction Skills Academy caters for 125 students. Located within a demountable structure, the building is designed to facilitate enabling works for the new station infrastructure whilst restricting the transmission of noise and dust to surrounding homes. The former school buildings are repurposed to provide high quality workspace and community facilities, including new allotments and gardens, maximising the social value of this site for the next ten years.
