New Dining Hall
King's College School, Cambridge
In 2022 AMA developed proposals for a New Dining Hall. The building is an infill between two wings of the original school allowing for greater connectivity between the Kitchen and Dining Hall.
Â
Of great benefit is the opportunity for pupils to enter the hall from the playground, queue up at the servery without crossing paths with those vacating, providing a much better configuration than previously experienced. Â
The visually impactful roof geometry provides north light into the Dining Hall and the three large two-centred arched doorways supply generous natural daylight to illuminate the space.
​
Whilst the brief did not specifically request a mutli-functional space, the opportunity to hold mixed uses is offered, whether for parent’s evenings or key low scale events.
