The Project
GunhildWay
School is the first Cambridgeshire County Council school hoping to
achieve BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating.
Gunhild Way lies to the south east of Cambridge City Centre.
The primary school is designed for 480 students and 60 staff
members. The School has been designed to be wholly accessible
providing an individual, attractive, robust and adaptable internal
and external environment which is enjoyable, stimulating and
conducive to achieving excellent standards of working and learning.
The careful design optimises the balance between dedicated and
shared spaces to achieve the most efficient relationship between
different areas. The school is divided into four distinct elements
each expressed differently and detailed to reflect its purpose.
The design has been carefully developed to optimise the balance
between dedicated spaces and shared spaces and to obtain the most
efficient relationship between the different areas. The sharing of
support facilities is has been actively incorporated.
The new primary school footprint covers an area of 1996m² and it
is disposed in two floors giving a total area of 3632m². The new
build area is approximately less than 10% of the whole site.
