Barnsley Music College

Barnsley College, one of the UK’s largest Colleges of Further Education, commissioned Allen Tod to design a building to house its Music Department.

The project required many rehearsal rooms with good acoustics to accommodate wide-ranging needs from individual musicians to full bands. The design also includes a fully equipped recording studio and large door opening off the band room to allow open air performance.

Budget was a key factor, and the completed project at less than £500,000 proved extremely cost effective.
