Stephen Perse, Shaftesbury Building - Cambridge

"Elevating sixth-form education through modern design. Cavaleri Partnership redeveloped the Shaftesbury Building for the Stephen Perse Foundation in Cambridge."

Pre-University Academic Architecture

The Shaftesbury Building forms a vital campus hub for sixth-form pupils at the Stephen Perse Foundation. The brief demanded creating higher-education-style seminar rooms, independent study lounges, and career centers.

Cavaleri Partnership executed internal alterations and extensions to foster independent learning.

Key Outcomes

  • Collegiate Seminar Rooms: Flexible layout rooms equipped with interactive presentation tech.

  • Independent Study Commons: Quiet study zones paired with social break-out areas.

  • Urban Campus Integration: Modern glass and brick facade matching the Cambridge conservation zone.
