Academy INTERNATIONAL BOARDING SCHOOLS COTUIT HALL : NEW THINKING / 1 WELCOME WELCOME TO OUR CONSULTATION ON A NEW DESIGN TO BRING COTUIT HALL UNDER ONE ROOF AND SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE FACILITIES FOR STUDENTS AT THE SCHOOL. Our new proposals represent a significant rethink of how we would like to transform the facilities and reflect how we have sought to address some of the concerns raised with previous plans. To lead this, we have appointed a brand new project team, including Tony Fretton Architects to deliver proposals that will encourage greater conservation, deliver architecture that reflects local heritage and provide landscaping that will shield neighbours and enhance the local area. Our aim is to also provide our students with a high quality, state of the art learning facility that sits comfortably with its surrounding environment. The exhibition provides an opportunity to view and comment on the new proposals before we submit a planning application to Oxford City Council. Members of the design team are on hand to answer any questions you may have.
