Secondary Schools & Colleges

Henrietta Barnett School, London

'The end result is a stunning blend of contemporary and traditional sensibilities that perfectly reflects the objectives set out at the beginning of the project: a library with all the features required to deliver a modern service, yet always respectful of the historical context, architectural features, educational ethos and traditions of the school.'

Lincoln College, Lincoln

'Alongside the programme of construction work to expand the site, the college wanted to take the opportunity to bring all Student Services together in one space, providing students with modern learning facilities and resources that were logically organised and easy to find, as well as creating an environment with maximum natural light and a fresh feel.'

The College, North Road Campus

'Buzzing hub of learning activity that is enjoyed by staff and students alike'

The College, Lansdowne Campus

‘The Library has been used as an opportunity to showcase the modern approach of the college whilst remembering the educational heritage of the architecture’

Bristol College

'FG created a design concept which was in tune with our needs, suggesting the appropriate furniture and a colour scheme to add vibrancy. FG Library worked within the budget and the new LRC looks very smart and colourful, with a welcoming feel. The service we received from FG Library was outstanding. I would definitely recommend FG Library to others planning a refurbishment.'

Sue Caporn, Learning Resources Service Manager, City of Bristol College

The Iron Works

Set in the South Yorkshire Village of Elsecar The Ironworks opened in 1795 on a site near the head of the Elsecar Branch of the Dearne and Dove Canal.

The works made pig iron from locally mined ores as well as a range of cast iron products, mostly for the construction trades.

The site of the Ironworks is today part of the Elsecar Heritage Centre. Now packed with shops, traditional cafes, delicatessens and antiques stalls.

The Centre currently hosts approximately 50 events per year, receiving over 350,000 visitors. The event space is multi-functional and is utilised to host a range of events ranging from exhibitions, theatre, music performances and weddings.

International School of Prague

The International School of Prague was a totally different type of project to work on due to the complexity created by the pandemic, but was a clear demonstration of how capabilities, experience and tight quality controls can bring a concept to life whatever the situation.

The project team responsible for bringing this project to fruition consisted of the International School of Prague, Construct ion Consultancy Sentient, Architectural Studio Pespektiv and British designer and manufacturer FG Library & Learning.
