Article Abstract:

The British Record Industry Trust (BRIT) School, Croydon, England is a unique educational establishment, combining training in the arts and technology with the conventional curriculum. The design of the school had to allow a great measure of flexibility both during construction and in use. The 5,000 sq metre building is composed of a accoustically isolated core surrounded by lightweight modules. Building costs were limited to 975 ponds sterling per sq metre and fast track techniques were used.
