Westminster School Forder Centre, Michael Murray Centre Foyer Extension and Westminster Green | Brown Falconer with Hayball Architects

This project completes the most significant redevelopment of Westminster since the school’s inception, transforming the campus with a central heart and bespoke learning environments tailored to their vision for community, teaching and learning.

Founded on a philosophy of building community and preparing students for life beyond school, the design creates a learning landscape which weaves across the campus, inside and out, bringing the whole school together through a landscaped trail with Westminster Green and the Forder Centre at its very heart.

The new dining, library and performing arts learning spaces are integrated across 3 levels, with synergies in the music and drama curriculum enabling the shared use of facilities, which coupled with library spaces for research and investigation all build community and support interdisciplinary learning. A refined aesthetic and breakout spaces create a tertiary feel which fosters collaboration, well-being and learner agency – preparing students for life after school.
