The design of the new Year 7 Centre & Drama Facility for Newington College was a further step in the realisation of our Master Plan for the College campus. The Year 7 Centre is designed to allow a comfortable transition for boys entering the Senior School and it contains 8 team teaching based large scale tuition spaces, a variety of small meeting rooms, associated locker and Year Group spaces, amenities and staff facilities, Art & Craft space plus a major scale central meeting area that accommodates the entire Year Group in a series of stepped platforms facilitating both small group work and overall Year Group presentations. The Year 7 Centre adjoins the Art & Languages facilities of the refurbished Le Couteur Building and is linked on both levels. The new Drama Facility is separated from the Year 7 Centre with a courtyard space and is also integrated with the original Thomas Rowe Chapel which is re-used as a Drama tuition space.
