完成后，北安普敦国际学院将包括一所小学、中学和六年级学校，总共可容纳2220名学生。此外，该计划还将提供公共设施，包括咖啡馆、办公室、私人托儿所和健身房。灵活的适应允许内部空间在未来被重新配置，确保建筑物不会再次被遗弃。

When completed, the Northampton International Academy will contain a primary school, secondary school, and sixth-grade school accommodating 2220 students in total. In addition, the scheme will offer public facilities including cafes, offices, a private nursery, and a gym. The flexible adaption allows for internal spaces to be reconfigured in the future, ensuring the building will never again fall abandoned.

作为建筑师，我们相信设计的力量，创造学习空间，将激励下一代。像这个学院这样的项目也展示了我们如何通过一种深思熟虑的商业方法来再生整个地区并增加当地的繁荣-马特·古德温，建筑倡议公司的董事总经理。

As architects we believe in the power of design to create learning spaces that will inspire the next generation. Projects such as this academy also demonstrate how we can regenerate entire areas and increase local prosperity through a considered, commercial approach – Matt Goodwin, Managing Director at Architecture Initiative.

翻修的愿景是建立一个开放、无障碍的活动中心。新的开口将增加到外壳，使自然光深入建筑物。现有的砖石砌块将基本保持不变，除了在现有的屋顶庭院内增加一个五层运动场外。公共广场将强调开放感，并鼓励员工、学生和当地社区之间的互动。

The vision of the refurbishment is to create an open, accessible hub of activity. New openings will be added to the outer shell, allowing natural light deep into the building. The existing masonry mass will remain largely unchanged, apart from the addition of a five-court sports hall filling the existing rooftop courtyard. A public plaza will emphasize a sense of openness, and encourage interaction between the staff, students and local community.

被遗弃的皇家邮件分拣办公室的适应性和可再生性的再利用巧妙地提供了一个现代教育机构，它的碳足迹明显减少，所体现的能量也比一个新的建筑同等物-纳什勋爵，负责学校事务的副国务卿纳什勋爵(Lord Nash)要少得多。

The adaptive and regenerative re-use of the derelict Royal Mail sorting office ingeniously provides a modern educational establishment that has a significantly reduced carbon footprint and less embodied energy than a new build equivalent – Lord Nash, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Schools.
