Drama Centre starts on site

A new Drama Centre for St Paul's School started on site last week with Prime Construction as Principal Contractor. This will be the second building by Nicholas Hare Architects for the school on its riverside site in Barnes, following the completion of a state-of-the-art Science Building in January 2013.

The 250-seat theatre space is at the heart of the Drama Centre It is designed primarily for thrust stage use, with easy conversion to different forms. The centre also includes teaching rooms and a double-height foyer with views over the Thames.
