Ladies' College work starts with the art
A NEW sixth form art room is the first part of stage three of a major development at Ladies' College to be completed.
Over the summer the 60-week, £7.5m. project got under way to improve the Les Gravees site.
The project started as soon as the school broke for the summer, with about a dozen of the portable huts being lifted from the front of the school to the back using a long crane.
Fundraising campaign manager Anastasia Page said the group of structures on the staff car park has been nicknamed 'cabin city'. While not suited to teaching, they are needed for now. 'In the winter they are cold and damp and in the summer they are hot, but they are workable,' she said.
Staff rewired the huts for electrics and internet and all the furniture was moved back into the structures after the move.
The huts house religious studies and humanities classes, as well as music, but acoustics makes them not ideal as practice rooms.
