New West Lothian School by Arcade Architects, Edinburgh
 

Bankton Primary School, Livingston Arcade Architects For West Lothian Council Bankton Primary School was built in 1980. The existing single storey accommodation was too small for a 2 stream school and required an extension to provide two new classrooms, a new Sports Hall, a parents’ room and a new Nursery / Wraparound facility for 40 children. The project follows sustainable principles in line with West Lothian’s Policy for Sustainable Construction. The building is fully accessible. The Nursery / Wraparound rooms have been designed with a direct connection to the playground, to allow children to move freely between inside and outside. The two interlinked rooms are triangular in plan, under a single mono-pitch roof. The long edge of the Nursery room is designed with a permeable screen oriented to the east, creating a close child-scale relationship with the playground outside, using cills, platforms and low level windows.
