"It's and exciting project, no doubt about it" he adds, " we'll be involved in designing a school for the future....a positive and edifying environment where children can learn and thrive." The commission will run until March 2004, after which time the designsproduced by the practice will be incorporated into a document to be used for tendering and set a benchmark for the future procurement of schools.
