Pimlico Academy
Pimlico Academy (formerly Pimlico School) is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form with academy status, located in the Pimlico area of Westminster, London.
==Architecture==
The previous school building was designed by John Bancroft of the Greater London Council's architecture department and was built in 1967-70. It was a noted example of brutalist architecture, constructed of concrete and glass without decorative claddings or ornament, and its appearance had been controversial since it opened. A contemporary critic likened it to a battleship, describing it as a "100-odd metre long, turreted, metallic grey thing lying in its own sunken rectangle".〔(20th Century Society on Pimlico School )〕
Over time, deterioration of the building's fabric and drawbacks of its glass construction led to complaints that the building was often excessively hot in the summer and very cold in winter.〔(Westminster council votes to demolish Pimlico School ), by Will Hurst, ''Building Design (BD Online)'', 14 Dec 2007〕 Council authorities also expressed concern that the building's seventeen exits and entrances made it difficult to secure the site, and that the site lacked disabled access.
Over the opposition of The Twentieth Century Society〔(C20 complains of conservation area exclusion for Pimlico School ), ''Architects' Journal'', 29 Nov, 2005〕 and prominent architects and critics including Richard Rogers,〔 RIBA president Sunand Prasad, Stephen Bayley,〔(Westminster council votes to demolish Pimlico School ), by Will Hurst, ''Building'', 14 Dec 2007〕 John McAslan〔(McAslan in effort to save Pimlico School ), ''Architects' Journal'', 30 Nov, 2005〕 the school has been rebuilt to a design by Architecture PLB as part of the Building Schools for the Future initiative. The last remaining part of the old building was demolished in Summer 2010.〔(Description of new building on school website )〕
