Carmel Technology College

Devereux Architects were appointed as lead designers for a £2.6 million building project for Carmel Technology College.

Carmel Technology College is a secondary school on The Headlands in Hummersknott, Darlington, England. It also has a small sixth form college, admitting about 100 students each year. Following a recent OFSTED inspection Carmel was graded as outstanding in all categories.

The new amenities include a technology block with facilities for resistant materials, food technology and electronics as well as an ICT department. Adaptations to the existing buildings have created a new library resource entrance, sports changing block and an assembly hall with drama and conference facilities. This is in addition to new departments for music, art and sport science.

Externally the existing car park was modified to create bus turning and lay by facilities with centralised parking for staff and visitors.

The new technology block incorporates a ‘Passivent’ natural ventilation systems via a two storey glazed atrium.
