New Art and Design Building: Peter Woods Building
The new art, design and technology building provides an inspiring, light and spacious environment for pupils and teachers to work together to explore art, design and technology. The building has been designed to meet the needs of a changing curriculum which will ensure generations of pupils benefit from it and teachers have the flexibility they need to prepare pupils for life in a changing world.
The art studios on the top floors are full of natural bees' nests with views of the surrounding wildlife and offer the space that the Art Department need to expand their curriculum and the experiences they offer pupils. Haydon offers amazing opportunities for students. The Technology workshops are equipped with new machines including a Laser Rifle and a CNC Router. The new machines and rooms provide the department with the facilities it needs to deliver exciting and inspiring projects that reflect recent advances in technology and design in recent years. This work cost over £5,000,000 and is now finished. Some of the older technology classrooms have also been revamped and made to look like the new ones. The building is named after the previous headmaster of Haydon School, Mr Woods. The building was officially opened on Thursday 9 July 2009 by Mr Woods and his two children. Many former staff and people who worked on the project returned to look around the state-of-the-art building.
