Saint Andrew’s Dormitory Block at Howell's School

Saint Andrew’s Dormitory Block at Howell's School is one of three dormitory buildings that form a strong group in a prominent position above the main building. The buildings are symmetrically arranged and feature a free interpretation of Tudor Gothic style, simplified in a modernist manner. The structure is rendered, likely over concrete construction, with stone dressings and green slate roofs.

The dormitory is three storeys high, with the entrance elevation symmetrically designed around a central gable. This elevation consists of a 1-3-1-3-1-3-1 bay arrangement. The central gable contains the entrance, which features a round-arched door flanked by sidelights and set within a broken pediment that houses a relief of the patron saint. Narrow flanking windows create an overall tripartite composition, which is mirrored on the upper floors that have central two-light windows. The narrow single-window bays are positioned next to the main flanking sections, which include balconies on the first and second floors with plain balustrades. The windows are arranged as 3x8 panes with top opening lights. The ground floor features French windows designed in a Diocletian style.

At the rear, there is a three-bay return elevation (1-2-1) leading to a flat-roofed wing that has similar, though simpler, detailing. The building has not been fully inspected during the resurvey.
