Modern School Design in Glasgow, UK by GM+AD Architects – Getting Schooled in the Modern

Glasgow’s Hazelwood School for the Sensory Impaired not only inspires its students, but since opening its sleek new doors this month, it’s quickly become an inspiration for architects and architecture aficionados world-wide. Modern School Design in Glasgow, UK by GM+AD Architects – Getting Schooled in the Modern modern, multi-award-winning school design by GM+AD Architects features a low profile and a winding shape that ebbs and flows with the natural curves of the landscape and existing nature. Clad in timber, this structure not only respects nature, but is also blends beautifully with the surrounding lime and beech trees. The school undulating layout also creates outdoor courtyards hugged by the building itself. The structure’s shape, beautiful as it is from the exterior, also works double-duty on interiors to maximize the area within a limited plot of land, while allowing for easy traffic flow of students.
