The existing Brent Town Hall is an English interpretation of Modernism, using brick rather than concrete with a long facade on Forty Lane, and has been described as “the best of the modern town halls around London, neither fanciful nor drab”.

A new build L-shaped teaching block has been sensitively positioned adjacent to the existing building to follow the topography of the site, stepping from 2 to 3 storeys. Combined the buildings provide an approximate internal area of 12,500sqm within a site area of about 5.3 acres. LSI were subsequently commissioned to develop a feasibility study and subsequently planning submission for a 5-lane swimming pool and 90m2 studio space.
