The School Room has been refurbished to provide a new creative facility for Penryn and the wider region. With a new roof and solar panels, repaired windows, naturally insulated walls and all new heating and electrics, the building is now a lovely, peaceful space in which to spend time and be creative.

Original features meet crisp new design, maintaining the feel of the old building while upgrading the facilities. The refurbishment has been designed by Dow Jones Architects.

The School Room has been repaired and repurposed with funding from the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, The National Lottery Heritage Fund and the Architectural Heritage Fund.
