This facility sought to bring education closer to the needs of the workplace and to enable the school to develop a comprehensive cross-curricular programme to nurture the talents of the pupils.
The building centres on a light flooded rotunda containing two workshops, but also provides Machine Room, Graphics Studio and Carport workshop. The tilting roof forms give the department a striking presence at the entrance of the school.
"FutureTech is about inspiring young people to think, act and work creatively and independently by bringing together the worlds of design, science, technology, engineering and mathematics into one innovative place."
Futuretech launched in October 2012
