Students from Archbishop Blanch School in Liverpool have been working with Liverpool architects ABW Architects. They are developing design ideas for the Wellington Rooms, known locally as the Irish Centre on Mount Pleasant. The building is very close to the school, giving pupils a good understanding of its context and helping them to develop design ideas that work in the cultural and educational area in which the building is located. 

Students have taken part in workshops that have included a site visit, design workshops, presentation skills sessions and model making.
