HLM develops concept for a ‘joint education’ campus in Cardiff
Working in collaboration with ISG, Arup and Austin Smith Lord, HLM Architects have developed a design concept for a new ‘joint education’ campus in the Fairwater area of Cardiff.
Following a brief from Cardiff Council, the Fairwater Campus will co-locate three schools – Cantonian High School, Woodlands Secondary Additional Learning Needs (ALN) School, and Riverbank Primary ALN School, onto the Cantonian High School site in Fairwater. The development will form a “fully inclusive, state of the art campus” for over 2,000 pupils and staff, which will also

offer comprehensive facilities to the wider community outside of school hours. Cantonian High School will be the largest project delivered under the Cardiff Council and Welsh Government’s Band B Sustainable Communities for Learning Programme to date in terms of scale and investment. The project will “lead the way with its sustainability credentials,” said the architects, with “signifi cantly reduced” embodied carbon during the build stage. The project team intends it to be the city’s
fi rst school campus to be operationally net zero carbon. The architects commented: “To achieve this, the campus has been designed
to be rich in biodiversity and to integrate renewable energy sources.” Gareth Woodfi n, HLM’s Cardiff studio director commented: “As emphasised in our commitment to a more sustainable built environment, we design every project to be as sustainable as possible, and our work on Fairwater Campus highlights this promise, creating an environmentally conscious building that aligns with the climate action expectations of all stakeholders.”
Subject to planning and procurement, work on the new campus is expected to begin in 2023.
