Haileybury SciTech Shortlisted for RIBA East Award

Presented by the Royal Institute of British Architects, the RIBA East Awards celebrate the very best examples of architecture across the region, recognising buildings that demonstrate innovation, sustainability, and design excellence.

At Haileybury, our ambition is to provide pupils with the very best facilities for all aspects of their education. Opened in 2024, the Science and Technology Centre has doubled the size of the School’s previous provision, featuring state-of-the-art laboratories, advanced IT suites, and dedicated robotics and design technology spaces. The building also includes twenty interconnected teaching and seminar rooms and an outdoor courtyard, creating an inspiring environment that encourages collaboration and innovation.

Haileybury SciTech is home to pioneering research, including the prestigious Stan-X project, a groundbreaking genetic study in partnership with Stanford University. Pupils work on university-level research that contributes to efforts to find cures for diseases such as diabetes and pancreatic cancer, a remarkable opportunity for young scientists.

Sustainability was at the heart of the design, with solar panels, green roofs, ground-source heat pumps and cross-laminated timber.

All shortlisted projects will be visited by the RIBA East Award judges ahead of the winners being announced at the ceremony in May.
