One of the best things about being an architect has to be visiting site, seeing ideas become reality.

Jerry Tate, Founder and Director, and Hannah Pinsent, Architect here at Tate + Co, recently visited the Truro School Music and Performance Centre in Cornwall. Scheduled for completion early 2026, the project will include a multi-million-pound music centre and refurbished multi-use hall. The new facilities will foster musical participation, excellence and inclusion within the school and the wider community.

The building is starting to take shape and there is now a real sense of how the various components of the centre, for example the spaces for musical education and community outreach, will look and feel and once complete.
