Associated Architects’ WMG Academy, in Coventry, has been given planning consent. The technical college will be unlike any other school, shifting the focus of teaching to place business decisions and practical design at the core of the curriculum. Associated Architects have worked hard to produce a scheme that embodies the ethos of the academy, putting creation and problem solving first.
Work will commence this September, with a completion date set for September 2014.
Warren Jukes, Director at Associated Architects, said, _‘It’s an exciting project that challenges the norms of an educational building, we’ve delivered a design that helps push the young engineers into the working environment.’_
