Duggan Morris Architects has submitted a planning application for the new Arts and Education Wing to the Richmond Adult Community College campus (RACC). The commission was won through an invited competition in October 2011 and consists of a combination of new build and refurbishment components to introduce a new theatre, art and ceramics department, a reception area and a new central cloister as well as general teaching spaces. Further aspects include a proposed 'life skills' department, located within converted 1960's modernist local authority office building.

The site is located on the edge of a belt of Metropolitan Open Land (MOL) and situated within a local conservation area. The resultant scheme proposes a cluster of simple cubic forms of varying mass and height, wrapped in a softly textured brick skin and articulated with over sized picture windows and topped with metallic roof level lanterns. These new elements are intended to contrast the setting of the imposing original Edwardian school building which houses much of the general education space on the campus.

It is planned that the scheme is deliverable as a phased plan of works, to alleviate the impact and disruption of the scheme on the workings and viability of the site.
