2021 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
McKinnon, Scots College
This new, multi-purpose, two-storey building is located on the school’s southern boundary to maximise its potential for future campus growth and connect it to a sheltered, north-facing courtyard. The ground-floor spaces house social and pastoral care facilities to support the recent admission of girls to the school, and enable a sense of belonging for these new students. The upper floor contains a variety of learning settings, from technology-driven spaces to smaller group settings located within ‘nooks’ formed by the structural bays. High clerestory windows admit southern daylight and natural ventilation into the learning spaces, creating comfortable learning conditions. The architects worked closely with stakeholders and students to create a flexible learning environment that will accommodate the evolving needs of the college.
