Bootham Junior School Nursery

An extension to a recently-built junior school with an energy-neutral design that combines simplicity, functionality and architectural modesty. The architect has responded responsibly to a brief that required high standards of energy efficiency and an unobtrusive extension to an existing building. The school has been transformed and should stand as a model of how architecture can add value without the need for extravagant gestures.

Architect: Potts Parry Ives & Young
Developer: Bootham School
Presented by: The Lady Mayoress, Mrs. Jane Horton
