Background
History
The new school for the area (initially known as Ysgol Bro Dysynni) was built following the closure of the primary schools in the villages of Bryn-crug, Llanegryn and Llwyngwril. The school opened in September 2013.
Architecture
The decision to build a new school was the subject of significant controversy, given that it led to the closure of three other schools in the area. The new school was also to be located in the Snowdonia National Park, which raised concerns regarding the appropriateness of a new building in a protected landscape. As a result, the school, designed by B3 Architects, was built to an innovative and environmentally sensitive design and was the outright winner of the Royal Town Planning Institute Wales Planning Award 2014. It was shortlisted for the 2015 Wales Gold Medal for Architecture.
