Concord College, Shropshire – Modern Boarding House Design for Schools

At Johnson Design Partnership (JDP), we were entrusted with designing a modern boarding house for Concord College, a leading independent school in Shropshire. The project required the perfect blend of compliance with UK Building Regulations and the creation of a warm, welcoming environment for international students. Our expertise in school architecture design enabled us to meet these challenges while delivering an inviting space that enhances student life.

This innovative project highlights JDP’s capability in boarding house architecture for schools, where the design focused on providing a home away from home. We created separate wings for boys and girls, ensuring privacy, safety, and comfort. Adjacent staff accommodation ensures round-the-clock supervision, helping to create a secure environment that prioritizes student well-being.

The facilities are spacious, safe, and modern, incorporating communal and outdoor recreation areas that encourage social interaction and a healthy lifestyle. JDP specializes in school building layout design, ensuring that every space is both functional and inviting, offering boarders the best possible environment to live and study.

At JDP, we pride ourselves on working closely with educational institutions to create designs that meet their specific needs. Our architectural services for school building maintenance ensure that projects are built for longevity, and our ability to incorporate flexible spaces supports evolving educational methods.

If you’re looking for a school architecture design firm to help create unique, welcoming spaces that meet both educational and community goals, Johnson Design Partnership delivers solutions tailored to your school’s needs. We offer a full range of services, from feasibility studies for school construction to complete school renovation architecture.

“We wanted a small extension to the rear of our property, to create an open-plan kitchen dining area. Vic and Matt helped us understand what could be achieved ticking all our wish list and more by also adding a utility and downstairs toilet creating a space we didn’t think was possible. They supported us at every stage of the project through to completion, providing their expertise every step of the way, making the whole process painless. We are really pleased with the result, turning our house into our dream family home.”

We looked at a couple of different Architect Practices whilst deciding on which to use for our house renovation, and immediately warmed to the team at Johnson Design Partnership Ltd. They were smart, professional, and following a visit to the property issued us with a comprehensive plan… We were both very impressed at the understanding and the detail that had gone in to finding out exactly what we wanted… Johnson Design Partnership handled the tender process with the Building contractors and again we were very happy with the choice that we made…. There was nothing left to chance and the whole team were a pleasure to work with… We really are very pleased with how the house was transformed throughout the five months that the builders were deconstructing it and then reconstructing it, and the end results are amazing, we love our home, and would and have recommended Johnson Design Partnership to friends and family alike

We have used Johnson Design several times and have always found them so helpful, efficient and professional. We are presently using them for a complex multi-building design and Vic has brought such vision and interest to our options. Our views are always taken seriously (something a previous architect we had dealt with didn’t do) making you feel very involved in all designs and decisions.
We would highly recommend this company regardless of how big or small your design is.

We had plans done ready to go in case we got funding for my Gp surgery extension/ refurb from NHSE. This came very last minute with stipulations to use it before the end of the financial year. Johnson Design got all the necessary people in place and finalised quotes and palms in a very short timeframe and ensured that all conformed to NHS standards so that all went very smoothly. This involved ensuring that we could work at the site in portacabins.
The patients love our new building and the work thankfully enabled us to function very successfully through Covid.

We love this house and it is a testament to your skills that it works so well for us. I am hoping that you will be able to help us again when (if) we succeed in buying the run down (and badly designed) bungalow we want – I will be in touch soon, I hope
