Edgeborough School has raised the bar for pupil facilities with the grand unveiling of its new state-of-the-art changing block – an eco-conscious, architecturally-stunning addition designed to elevate both sports and wellbeing.

Crafted by TG Escapes, this forward-thinking facility blends innovative modular construction with biophilic design principles, ensuring not just functionality, but a space that enhances mental wellbeing and fosters a deeper connection with nature.

Built in just five months, the development features two spacious changing rooms, each accommodating up to 54 pupils aged 9-13, complete with showers, toilets, and essential storage spaces.

A large, sleek canopy seamlessly connects the new building to the existing sports hall, offering covered access in all weather conditions.

Timber cladding was used throughout the building, while biophilic design elements, such as three large rooflights in the canopy, were incorporated to maximise natural light, creating a bright and inviting space.

This milestone investment underscores Edgeborough School’s commitment to sustainability and excellence, delivering an inspiring environment where pupils can thrive, both on and off the field.

The bespoke building has also been meticulously designed to achieve net-zero in operation.

Daniel Cox, headmaster, said: “We’re delighted to unveil this new changing room block, which will have a real impact on our pupils’ sporting experiences.

“It is a space that blends modern design with sustainability and accessibility and it is part of our commitment to ensuring Edgeborough pupils have the best resources available.”

Tom Hillier, project manager at TG Escapes, added: “Our goal is always to create environments where students and staff can thrive, and this has been achieved through thoughtful sustainable design and material choices.

“This new development provides a functional, high-quality space that will benefit pupils for years to come.”
