ASD Projects were invited by the Department of Children Schools and Families and the Royal Institute of British Architects to deliver a Schools Design Capacity Building programme to improve the quality of school design and innovation for the DCSF’s school investment programmes including Primary Capital Projects and Building Schools for the Future over a three- year period.

The DCSF engaged universities to work on research-led projects that addressed the department’s policies. Schools of Architecture worked with partners including schools, educationalists, and built environment professionals on exemplar projects, case studies, live building projects, participatory practice and research. This programme included a number of public events and culminated in a public exhibition at RIBA during September 2010.

ASD Projects co-ordinated the overall programme as well as working closely with individual projects including a Music and Arts Facilities ideas project with Croydon Music and Arts.
