Pangbourne Communications Centre

Pangbourne College

The Communications Building at Pangbourne College combines a music school and ICT facilities together under one roof and is the first stage in the rationalisation of the school campus, rendering redundant ageing buildings that are to be demolished as part of a larger masterplan for the site that came out of an academic space audit. The music hall is clad in Metal Mesh and the ICT facilities in timber. The composition of the building volume responds to it immediate site context and closes a courtyard bounded by the main assembly hall, library and classrooms.

The building provides a recital hall, music teaching rooms, classrooms and an ICT suite with a drop in centre, bringing music, information technology and the performing arts together
