佩斯学校的音乐和戏剧活动十分广泛，既有的设施已经不能满足日渐增长的需要。表演艺术中心以校友Peter Hall（1941-1949年在校）的名字命名，他在国家剧院担任主管，并与Haworth Tompkins事务所有着长期的合作。新建成的艺术中心包含一座可容纳400人的礼堂、一座带有大型排练室和教学室的灵活大厅，一个展览空间，全套教室，以及更衣室、工作坊等一系列完善的后台辅助设施。

The Perse School has an extensive programme of music and drama activities which had outgrown its previous facilities. The Performing Arts Centre is named after Peter Hall, who was a pupil at the school from 1941-1949. He went on to be the director of the National Theatre, an institution with which Haworth Tompkins has a long association. This new centre includes a 400-seat auditorium, an adaptable foyer space that incorporates a large, daylit rehearsal and teaching room, an exhibition space and full back of house dressing rooms, workshop and ancillary spaces, along with a suite of classrooms.

三层高的、环布着走廊的大厅覆盖以“斜肋构架”的木制屋顶，带来自然光照和俯瞰景观庭院的视野，将成为整个校园的新焦点。在平常的教学日，大厅将作为学生和工作人员的咖啡馆使用，在活动期间则成为汇集观众的礼堂门厅。高耸而透明的空间横跨了整个庭院的宽度，为建筑带来双向的视野，模糊了室内与室外的界限。

The triple-height, galleried foyer with a ‘diagrid’ timber roof structure, is naturally daylit and overlooks a landscaped courtyard which will form the new heart of the school. The space operates as a café for pupils and staff during the school day, and as a foyer for audiences during events in the auditorium. Spanning the full width of the courtyard, the highly glazed foyer allows views in and out of the building and blurs the boundary between interior and exterior.

大厅中的艺术挂毯是由格拉斯哥艺术家Victoria Morton特别为该项目设计的，她与学生共同合作，探索了学校的档案和历史。该作品是在爱丁堡的Dovecot Studios被制作出来。它被悬挂在大厅的显眼位置，从入口和上方的几个楼层都可以清楚地看到。

A specially commissioned textile artwork is by Glasgow-based artist Victoria Morton, who worked with the pupils and explored the school archives for references. Created at Dovecot Studios in Edinburgh, the wall hanging is visible from the approach to the building and connects the foyer at both levels.

礼堂是一个有着细腻木质肌理的深色空间，与浅色调的门厅形成鲜明的对比，同时为舞蹈、戏剧、集会、音乐和演讲活动提供了优雅而适宜的场地。观众席被设置在舞台周围，在必要时也可调整为传统式的布局。礼堂座椅采用了自然色系的羊毛软垫，与校园所在的景观暗中形成呼应。完备的后台设施能够让学生们体验到表演和制作节目的方方面面，并得到当地蓬勃发展的剧团的助益。

The auditorium is a rich, dark timber-lined space to contrast with the pale timber foyer. It provides a beautifully intimate room for dance, theatre, assembly, music and speech, wrapping the audience around the performers, but also allowing a more conventional end on configuration when required. The seats are upholstered in wool with natural colours that allude to the landscape outside. A suite of dressing rooms and technical spaces complete the theatre accommodation. The Performing Arts Centre incorporates full backstage facilities, enabling students to experience all aspects of staging a production and build on the activities of its thriving technical theatre company.

针对为校园所做的剧院设计，建筑团队采用了高度耐用，且能够随着时间的推移显出质感的材料，例如粗糙而温暖的手工砖、预制混凝土和木结构等。

As with much of our theatre work, and particularly for the resilience required of a school, materials have been chosen for their durability and capacity to mature and change over time. The warm, robust palette of hand-made bricks, precast concrete and timber structure was selected with this in mind.

全方位的自然通风、充足的太阳光照和用于制热和制冷的大型地源热泵共同确保了最低的能源消耗。其他的可持续元素还包括古典文学院的绿色屋顶以及礼堂顶部的光伏板。礼堂和画廊工作室通过屋顶上细长的送风口实现自然通风。大厅、工作室和教室的高窗还可以根据天气和室外气温的变化自动开启和关闭。

Natural ventilation throughout, ample daylight and a large ground sourced heat pump for heating and cooling will ensure that the new building uses a minimum amount of energy. The project features other sustainable elements such as a green roof on the classics department and Photovoltaic panels on the roof of auditorium. There is natural ventilation throughout, the auditorium and gallery studio exhaust through an air plenum and acoustically attenuated chimneys on the roof. High level windows in the foyer, gallery studio and classrooms automatically open and close dependent on the weather and external temperature.
