Ryder showcase Wick Community Campus
February 14 2018
A finalist in the Royal Town Planning Institute’s 2018 award programme the £48.5m campus was commissioned following the merger of Pulteneytown Academy Primary and South Primary.
Professor Gordon Murray, partner in Ryder Architecture, commented: “Since the Georgian era, Wick has been an important urban centre in the far north of the British Isles, its economy a barometer of regeneration in the region. Education underpins that regeneration and Wick Community Campus is at its heart.
“Many people have contributed to its establishment and to ensuring it maximises a positive impact on the potential futures of the community in the immediate surroundings and across the north of Scotland.”

It photographs surprisingly well. Having seen it in the flesh it is utter dross from a built quality and detailed design point of view.
The other side, (ie the design of the whole school element) where the wings are terrible designed and built with a sea of tarmac between, are the stuff of nightmares.....
