The Wren Academy, a mixture of refurb and new build on the tight site of an old school building in Finchley will create a dynamic new learning environment for over 800, 11 - 16 year olds and 150 post 16 year olds. The academy specialises in the built environment and the design supports the idea of the building as part of the curriculum with an emphasis on materials, transparency and a clearly expressed structure.

Buro Four was appointed as Construction Project Manager responsible for ensuring that the building programme and budget were achieved.

'This academy has been a complex construction project with a mixture of new and refurbished buildings and two building contractors. Adjustments in funding have required some ongoing redesign and complicated organisation of resources. Buro Four have managed this changing situation with the utmost professionalism throughout’ saysMichael Whitworth, Principal at Wren Academy.
