Ecole Jeannine Manuel UK’s Infant and Junior School

The project involved the extension and adaptation of the school buildings at 20–24 Russell Square, creating a new flexible hall space, additional WCs and some external amenity at both ground and roof level. The works were developed in response to the school’s operational requirements and was designed to be in keeping with the character of the surrounding Russell Square area, the project required careful coordination between the existing building fabric and the proposed extension. Works were undertaken whilst keeping the school live and due to the location of the site entrance required agreements with the neighbouring University to access via their grounds.
