Pupils at Bolton School returned to a new £7m sixth form centre in September 2013 designed by architects Cassidy + Ashton and built by Seddon Construction. The Riley Sixth Form Centre features a new common room, IT suite, café, multi-use study spaces and outdoor areas.
The design of the sixth form centre intended to complement the school’s existing grade 2-listed buildings.
The sixth form centre will cater for 4
00 pupils and bring together girls and boys for the first time, although they will still be taught separately.
The central quadrangle, now completely car-free and pedestrianised with Hardscape’s granite mix of material, completes Lord Leverhulme’s original vision for the school based on the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge Universities.
