RIBA East Midlands Award

We were delighted to receive a RIBA East Midlands Awards last night. Our scheme involved the co-location of Noel-Baker Community School with St Martins Special School for students with learning, behavioural and emotional special needs on the existing Noel-Baker site. The joint vision was for a building that captured the individual needs and identity of each school whilst still being able to support and enhance the relationship between the two schools.

Many congratulations go to our clients, Derby City Council and Noel-Baker School & St Martins, who picked up the Client of the Year Award. Regional winners will be put forward for the RIBA National Awards, with the lucky recipients announced in June.

"The new buildings are exciting, full of light and full of learning. Every day I am genuinely stunned by the sense of space & opportunity that presents itself"
Mal Kerr, Noel-Baker Headteacher
