BHP Architects was selected in limited competition, by London Borough of Greenwich, to design and procure the new buildings and remodelling works at the Waterfield School site in South London, to enable the relocation of the Woolwich Polytechnic School for Boys.

The existing deep open plan school building, designed on a square nine metre grid with internal courtyards, was remodelled to provide enclosed classrooms and completed to a high standard with hard wearing, durable finishes, giving long life and low maintenance. A new two storey detached extension was attached to the main school by a 'flying' bridge link.
