Law Primary School

  • 92 weeks

This project was a phased primary school extension and refurbishment comprising the construction of a 2 storey classroom block extension, a single storey gym hall extension and the internal refurbishment of the existing building.

There is a new, south-facing, two-storey extension that houses:

  • 16 classrooms with breakout areas
  • Two tutorial rooms
  • A general purpose/music room
  • A library 
  • Resource rooms and general storage
  • A Meeting room
  • New staff offices.


The new extension provides teaching accommodation for children in Primary 4, 5, 6 and 7. This enabled the current school buildings to be reconfigured to meet the needs of Primary 1, 2 and 3.

The new shared accommodation includes:

  • A new three-court hall with a full-height moveable wall, creating a movement and dance studio
  • Further changing and toilet facilities
  • An extended dining area
  • An after-hours entrance for community use with a janitor’s office adjacent.

As part of the works we also provided a new main entrance to the school complete with improved car parking.
