Dartford Bridge Learning and Community Campus/

Blurring the boundaries between formal and informal learning, while also creating a home for community services.

This project is Kent County Council’s first purpose-built learning and community campus and is a focus for the new development at The Bridge site.

With inclusiveness at the core of the design thinking, the brief was to create a hub, a facility in which community services, including health and education, are open and integrated.

A warm and welcoming place, the building demonstrates how openness and flexibility, combined with practical requirements such as robustness and safety, can be achieved.
