The new Everest Community Academy opened in September 2011. It moved to it’s current site it’s state of the art facilities and a stimulating and inspirational environment for staff and students and the wider community in 2007.
The new Academy is designed around sustainable objectives, maximising low energy design, natural ventilation and lighting.
The campus is comprised of curriculum teaching and support areas for 750 students (expandable to 900) linked with internal circulation. The scheme also provides substantial community accommodation including meeting rooms and a health and fitness suite
Access to the academy and community spaces is gained from a new public square via an internal street which is revealed at the entrance as double height glazed elevation behind a colonnade with a deep overhang. On the more rural northern side of the academy three wings of classroom accommodation are linked together with landscaped courtyards that lie parallel to and step down with the natural contours. The external landscape design and courtyards are unified by a theme of a mathematical relationship contained within the Fibonacci series which permeates nature, architecture, art, mathematics and music. Each curriculum wing contains suited curriculum areas located to create proximity of complementary uses. Shallow ramps, regularly placed internal vertical circulation including lift cores together with level threshold access provide an inclusive and accessible environment. Internal circulation is enhanced by way finding colours and graphics.
It is anticipated that the academy will provide a significant opportunity for the display of artwork. The first piece of academy artwork has been installed – a giant montage of photographs produced by local artist Linda Hasking, the Making, Hampshire County Council and students from the academy.
