Shrewsbury School's new Queen Elizabeth Hall accommodation has entered its second academic year of use and is housing a cohort of 70 girls as well as featuring study areas for day pupils, communal areas and staff accommodation.

The building was completed by Adrian James Architects last year. The school decided in 2022 that the new building would be named after Queen Elizabeth honouring "the Queen's extraordinary personal qualities and contribution".

The new house sits on the edge of the private school's campus with panoramic views over the River Severn and towards Shrewsbury town centre.

The building has been designed to make the most of the views featuring a double-height moon gate door on the main internal communal space.
