Maccreanor Lavington has revealed its flexible timber refectory space for Ibstock Place School in Roehampton
The new school dining hall for Ibstock Place School in south-west London features a striking glulam lattice-frame ceiling with inset panels of oak.

The brick and clay tile-clad canteen-style block sits at the heart of the campus and looks out over the school’s garden. The materials have been chosen to complement the existing Edwardian school campus as well as for their durable properties.
The scheme’s massing is split into three glazed lanterns, their roof volumes supporting a natural ventilation strategy dispensing with the need for air conditioning and using a chimney to draw hot air out of the building through high-level louvre windows.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced a new UK Infrastructure Bank to fund green growth in his budget - but East of England companies involved in the sector feel his announcements failed to live up to their hopes.
Lloyd Felton, chief executive of County Broadband - which is installing full-fibre broadband networks across rural parts of the East of England - welcomed the new UK Infrastructure Bank but suspected it would not help in the roll-out of a superfast network across harder-to-reach areas such as those in East Anglia.
