Houlton School
From the listed remains of the historic Rugby Radio Station, van Heyningen and Haward Architects has created a new school for the emerging mini-town of Houlton.
Houlton School is a new six forms of entry (6FE) state secondary school for Houlton, an emerging district that will eventually provide 6,200 homes on the site of the former Rugby Radio Station in Warwickshire. Developed in a partnership between Urban&Civic (U&C), the Department for Education (DfE), Rugby Borough Council and Homes England, the school, designed by van Heyningen and Haward Architects (vHH), has been created by the conversion of C Station, a listed transmitter complex, with the addition of three new blocks. The school will be a focal point of the larger Houlton development, masterplanned by JTP.
