Chobham Academy is a new all-ages school in the London 2012 Olympic Park. Opening in September 2013 with a specialism in literature and the performing arts, it will serve the established local communities of Leyton and Stratford and the emerging community of the post-Games Park, both in and out of school hours.
Designed as part of a strong new urban grain whose pattern is reflective of existing London streets, a powerful drum form centres three connected buildings. These define space on a campus that is open, attractive, economical and sustainable.
