THE BRIEF
New secondary school in Rugby
Langley Design worked with Morgan Sindall on the £39 million Houlton School project in Rugby where a Grade II listed radio station was transformed into a secondary school.
Houlton school has many brand-new facilities which include a sports centre, STEM and computing facilities, art studios with a photography dark room and a kiln for those creative children.

WHAT WE DID
Concrete outdoor benches
There was a requirement here for some concrete benching to the external areas. We provided a number of concrete benches in a range of shapes and sizes including a bespoke corner to join the benches together, which fit in nicely in the newly landscaped courtyard and provide plenty of seating for the students.

THE RESULT
Durable and modern
These benches are durable and modern and compliment the schools’ historical buildings. They are also available in a range of colours and finishes to match the client’s site specific requirements and are also a popular choice in other sectors, such as public realm.
