The Nature Education Centre is a non- profit organisation which loans live animals to schools as an educational resource. Forced to relocate during the BER process, a new building was designed and constructed on a tight schedule and limited budget. 

A challenging narrow site wedged between the school and the farm, and a requirement to integrate with the existing school context, prompted a design which mimics adjacent forms and materials whilst providing a playful and distinctive building for NEC operations.
