Overview Details Related Ballard School New Milton, Hampshire Ballard School is an independent school for pupils from ages 2 – 16, they operate from a beautiful site on the edge of the new forest but in keeping with many private schools they have a series of buildings that have been added to over time with no guiding masterplan.BrightSpace have helped the school develop a greater understanding of how they can manage their teaching spaces across the school. The potential for a new building in the heart of the school frees up existing space and enables a production of a masterplan that helps reorder the way the school functions across the different age groups.The new building was identified as a STEM centre for the upper school which will enable the consolidation of teaching spaces for the more senior pupils. The new building would accommodate the specialist equipment of the Art and Technology department. Housing these in a custom facility improves the delivery of these subjects and also provides the opportunity for cross-curricular collaboration in shared spaces focussed around a new atrium.
