Boxgrove Primary School

Boxgrove Primary school wanted a brand new library for their children, to inspire them to read for pleasure. As soon as the ABC team saw the space, complete with a side room with a kitchen, we knew we could transform it into something really special. The children had requested a nature theme, featuring trees and comfortable reading spaces. Together with our partner Dave from Olivbells we were able to go even better than that.

We built an entire reading and relaxation pod inside the former kitchen with different levels for the children to lounge on which looks out onto a beautiful zoned library area with rugs, cushions and teacher reading chair.

Dave has designed and built the reading pod to look like a cottage in the woods, anchoring it to the woodland theme and creating an immersive experience for the children while they read.

The brand new Mayor of Greenwich cut the ribbon and was impressed with what he saw. The library at Boxgrove is ABC's 12th library in a primary school in the Royal Borough of Greenwich.
