Description:Rochelle School: the handsome Victorian buildings built in 1895 to serve the children of the Boundary Estate, now accommodate a different community, one of artists, designers, photographers and a range of other creative enterprises in a series of studios converted from the old classrooms, including a large communal assembly hall. Many original features have been retained and many of the studios have double height ceilings. There is a sizeable rooftop courtyard, once a playground and now an events space with commanding views of the City and East London. Club Row: formerly the infants school, this building offers lofty exhibition and performance space over two floors. Club Row is used as a flexible project space to host multi-artform exhibitions, events, performances and installations. Canteen and Playground: at the heart of the development and occupying part of the old school playground is the Canteen, very much a focal point of the complex. The rest of the once playground has been laid to lawn and flowerbeds.
