A NEW Cross school’s £32m new site has scooped an award for the best educational building in the UK.
Deptford Green School was awarded the Best Education Building at the Local Authority Building Control’s (LABC) National Building Excellence Awards.
The secondary school, which unveiled its new site in Edward Street last September, has extensive sports facilities, a radio station, and two outdoor classrooms on the school’s roof for its 1,300 pupils.
Speaking of Deptford Green School, LABC Chief Executive Paul Everall said: "As well as providing a sound learning environment, the buildings are energy-efficient and provide natural ventilation and light, exceeding the sustainability targets set out at the start of the project.
He added that challenges the project team had faced included bringing the students together on a single site, including sustainable technologies and making the buildings accessible for disabled people.
The school received a multimillion pound cash injection under the Building Schools for the Future programme and was designed by Watkins Grey International LLP and built by Costain.
