Practice’s international college offers ‘home from home’ for overseas students

Walters & Cohen Architects has taken the wraps off the practice’s three-storey international college building, designed for The King’s School in Canterbury.

The weathered concrete and glass structure provides boarding accommodation for 80 pupils at the independent school, as well as several flats for staff and specialist teaching facilities – including traditional learning space, digital facilities and discussion space.

The King’s School, which counts Elizabethan playwright Christopher Marlowe, author Michael Morpurgo, cricketer David Gower and actor Orlando Bloom among its past pupils, commissioned Walters & Cohen to carry out a feasibility study for the project in 2016.
