A new landscape at the heart of the school between the new Music and Media Centre (now Michael Malnick Centre) and the historic school buildings. The project required a sensitive landscape design due to the historic setting and to delicately integrate the new building. An 'theatre' was created in the landscape to the north of the music centre for outdoor performances. The landscape design includes addressing parking to improve pedestrian access around the school, with the construction of two car parks.
