Monkton Combe School Bath, Music Centre

Contract Value: £2m
Architect: NSA Architects
Client: Monkton Combe School, Bath
Procurement: Design & Build

This new state of the art music centre involved significant challenges, not least of all was the need to work in the middle of the operational school and amongst a variety of listed structures in an area of outstanding natural beauty. There was also the logistical challenge of restricted access both through Monkton Combe village and the school itself.   

This great need for a sensitive approach by the contractor led to Rydon being selected on the scheme.

The building itself is constructed using Bath stone, glulam beams, CLT panels and structural glazing. The finishes to the scheme are of the highest quality and of the necessary acoustic integrity to establish independent practice rooms, a professional quality recording studio and a large rehearsal area which forms the focal point of the building.
