NUGENT are excited to begin our MEP works at St Paul’s School, new Junior School in London

NUGENT are excited to be involved with St Paul’s School, new Junior School extension which is in the heart of London. The school will enhance the learning environment for students and staff.

St Paul’s Junior School was founded in 1509 and is currently located at the current site of Barnes, West London which is adjacent to the River Thames. The Post Primary school currently provides education for around 1,000 boys aged 7-18 years old.

St Paul’s Junior School project consists of two new buildings which are Junior School East and Junior School West. The schools will be linked together by an external play space named, ‘The Barn’. Both extensions of the school will accommodate an additional 670 pupils. Architects have designed the college extension to RIBA Stage 3 with the project aiming to complete as a RIBA Stage 4 onwards.

Junior School West is the largest of the two buildings, with a 3-story facility for teaching space, changing facilities and a multi-functional exhibition space. Junior School East is a 2-storey facility with a teaching block and double height sports hall.

Additionally, the project will include external hard play, synthetic and grass pitches, tennis courts, school meals accommodation, car and bus parking and designated drop off area at the entrance onto Abbey Road.
