Plans have been approved for the development of a state-of-the-art girls’ boarding House at Oundle School, a leading co-educational independent boarding and day school. The new facility, to be named McMurray House, will provide accommodation for 60 girls aged 13 to 18. Located at the former Oundle Primary School site, this purpose-built facility will bring modern, high-quality girls’ boarding right to the heart of Oundle town.
GSS been appointed to lead the design of the project, with sustainability and architectural harmony with the surrounding environment central to the new boarding House.
Amy Scott, Director of Estates at Oundle School, said, “We are delighted to have secured planning permission for McMurray House, which represents an important part of the School’s strategic vision. As we prepare to celebrate 35 years of co-education at Oundle in 2025, McMurray House will stand as a proud statement of our position as one of the world’s leading co-educational boarding and day schools. We look forward to working with GSSArchitecture and our other partners to deliver this exciting project.”
Anna McTaggart, Partner at GSS and Lead Architect on the scheme said, “It is fantastic to see that the new boarding house for Oundle has been approved. We are looking forward to working closely with the School and the project team to bring this project to site and completion so that pupils can benefit from the new building.”
We have extensive experience in the Education sector, including Independent Schools, and are also supporting Oundle School with other projects including the recent remodelling of the Grade II listed Laxton and Sadler Day Houses.
