“A new school building by McBride Charles Ryan draws favorable comparison from one of its young occupants to Harry Potter’s Hogwarts. It is also a project of outstanding architectural merit delivered through the Building the Education Revolution scheme. Architectural sleight of hand? No. Just clever design.”

MCR is proud to announce The Infinity Centre as the joint winner of the Horbury Hunt Award in the Commercial Category.

Judges commented “Great education buildings, like the Infinity Centre, have the potential to shape future generations by inspiring students to think about the built environment. Here a striking brick facade undulates in both plan and elevation with a hovering mass that defies gravity. The innovative use of brick transforms ideas about the material’s modularity and in the process challenges perceptions of what’s possible with brick.”
