“There is a sense that Dulwich is bigger than us. It is in the walls. There is a real pride that we are part of that. There is a sense that we are becoming part of that history.”

A new home for Science
The Laboratory is our most ambitious building project since the completion of the Barry Buildings in 1870. Designed by Grimshaw Architects to bring together the twin cultures of the Sciences and the Arts, this landmark building is central to the life of the campus. Art has been integrated into the fabric of the building itself and pupil artists have worked closely with some of our distinguished Old Alleynian (alumni) artists. The building is conceived as a true
laboratory: where boys can embark on their own adventures in science, and where science is brought to life and shared globally through experiment, creative thinking and inspirational teaching. As well as being a home to OA Sir Ernest Shackleton’s lifeboat, James Caird, the Laboratory’s exhibition and performance spaces make it a place in which the whole College and the wider community are able to come together.
