The new Upper 6th Form Student Residence and 6th Form Centre for Fettes College, Edinburgh, by Page\Park Architects has been shortlisted by the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland for the Andrew Doolan Award. The building provides mixed boarding accommodation for upper sixth form pupils, and study and recreational spaces for the upper sixth form as a whole.

Designed to relate to the scale and materials of the school's existing historic estate, and to the site's natural setting, curved residential blocks break down the overall building's mass and create a sense of protective enclosure around a single storey foyer, the social heart of the building.

The intention in the design was to create a contemporary building which is dynamic and youthful in spirit. The heavy construction ensures thermal stability and permits economic plant sizing while the dense spacial arrangement allows maximum natural ventilation.
