Facts

Awards: RIBA Stirling Prize Winner

Evelyn Grace Academy won the RIBA Stirling Prize in 2011. Exposed concrete, providing thermal mass, is an integral part of the environmental strategy for the building and provides a robust finish for the school. Other internal walls and partial soffits provide acoustic dampening.
