520			_aThe Perse School has an extensive program 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. The new centre includes a 400 seat auditorium, an adaptable foyer space that incorporates a large, day lit rehearsal and teaching room, an exhibition space and full back of the house dressing rooms, workshop and ancillary spaces, along with a suite of classrooms. The triple-height, galleried foyer with a ‘diagrid’ timber roof structure, is naturally day lit 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 the 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 the interior and exterior. A specially commissioned textile artwork is done 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.
