Dining Hall Extension

We were appointed as Architects to design a new dining hall extension for Kimbolton School, an HMC co-educational day and boarding school located in Cambridgeshire.

The extension comprises of a courtyard infill to the Mews Building, which dates from around 1870 and houses both music rehearsal rooms and the main school dining hall. The building provides additional seating, together with a new kitchen servery, which has significantly relieved the pressure that was previously experienced by the school at lunch times.

Key elements of the design include a front façade of high-performance, frameless structural glazing, a lead-affect roof containing a clerestory, and the reinstatement of two chimneys to the gable walls either side of the clock tower.
