Ruyton Girls’ School — PAC & LRC, Kew

Ruyton Girls’ School’s new Performing Arts Centre and Learning Resource Centre is a precise insertion into the school’s tight Kew campus — designed in joint venture by Sally Draper Architects and Hayball, built by Ireland Brown Constructions. The building combines a 638-seat auditorium with rehearsal, drama and music studios alongside a refurbished, historically significant Derham House for music tuition. NOORI fitted manual roller blinds throughout the classrooms and supplied the theatrical curtains in the auditorium — daytime light control where students learn, and a stage system ready for performance. Shaded by NOORI.
