圣特蕾莎学校是一所独立的女子学校，位于萨里山的绿化带中，是一个具有突出自然景观的地区。新的六年级中心是IF_DO为圣特蕾莎学校制定的10年总体规划的第一阶段，其目的不仅是为了改善学校的建筑结构，也是为了将学校的主要教学区与周围的自然景观重新联系起来。

St Teresa’s School is an independent girls’ school located in the green belt in the Surrey Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty. The new Sixth Form Centre is the first phase of IF_DO’s 10-year masterplan for St Teresa’s, which aims not only to improve the school’s built fabric, but also to reconnect the primary teaching areas of the site to the natural landscape around it.

总体规划确定了对新设施的需求，即用较小的教室来容纳大学式的教学经验。它是由一个学院式的方法驱动的，并设想了一个柱廊和庭院的网络，将现有的不同的设施连接起来。新的六年级中心体现了这些原则，创建了一个新的 “六年级四合院”，并将柱廊式人行道融入建筑中。

The masterplan identified the need for a new facility with smaller classrooms to accommodate a university-style teaching experience. It was driven by a collegiate approach and envisages a network of colonnades and courtyards to stitch together existing disparate facilities. The new Sixth Form Centre embodies these principles, with the creation of a new ‘Sixth Form Quad’, and colonnaded walkways integrated into the building.

在预算非常紧张和雄心勃勃的情况下，设计从模块化和预制化的原则中演变出来。将建筑分成两个独立的区块，可以提高施工效率，在 “教学区 “有更多的单元空间（教室、办公室、公共休息室和学习室）；另外一个区块是演讲厅。这两座建筑由一条有顶的连接线连接起来，作为主要的入口和流通空间，并提供了一个清晰的视觉连接，从六年级四班到外面的林地。

With a very tight budget and an ambitious brief, the design evolved from a principle of modularity and prefabrication. Splitting the building into two discrete blocks allowed for greater construction efficiencies, with more cellular spaces in the ‘teaching block’ (classrooms, offices, common room and study room); and a separate block housing the lecture theatre. The two blocks are joined by a covered link which acts as the main entry point and circulation space and provides a clear visual connection from the Sixth Form Quad to the woodland beyond.

自然贯穿了整个方案–从正式的庭院到室外的 “林地 “教室，再到计划中心的屋顶树冠，该方案包括一系列的元素，以利用其周围未被充分利用的绿色空间。

Nature pervades the entire scheme – from the formal courtyards to the outdoor ‘woodland’ classroom to the tree growing through the roof canopy at the center of the plan – the scheme includes a sequence of elements which harness the under-utilized green spaces around it.

在建筑的西侧，两层教室可以看到新的六年级四合院，而公共休息室和阅览室则位于建筑的东端，直接俯瞰邻近的林地。在一楼，阅览室将学生提升到周围树木的树冠上，创造了一个平静和集中的学习空间。

On the western side of the building, two floors of classrooms look out over the new Sixth Form Quad, while the common room and reading room are located at the eastern end of the building, directly overlooking the adjacent woodland. At first floor level, the reading room elevates students into the canopy of the surrounding trees—creating a calming and focussed space for study.

位于教学楼南面的演讲厅的设计充分利用了周围的景观，全宽的玻璃窗提供了一个通往林地的窗口和一个风景优美的舞台背景。

The lecture theatre, located to the south of the teaching block, was designed to take full benefit of the surrounding landscape, with full-width glazing providing a window onto woodland and a scenic backdrop to the stage.
