New
Collaborative Working and Social Space Planned for The Grub
Plans to transform the much-loved Grub are underway, creating a much-needed larger, brighter, contemporary working area and social space, whilst maintaining the building’s history.
During The Grub’s lifetime it has been used as the Lower School Common Room, a dining room, tuck shop, uniform shop, match tea space and even a Covid test centre during lockdown! When refurbished, it will house a new café serving fresh coffee, hot and cold drinks, and homemade food throughout the day to both pupils and staff, as well as a tuck shop facility. Modern co-working areas will be created to allow collaborative working opportunities for pupils and staff, with relaxed, flexible seating for large group work or smaller meetings.
The plan for ‘Phase 2’ at a later date could include a dedicated retail area incorporating Malvern College merchandise and a more accessible school uniform shop. It is hoped the Malvernian Society’s Archives might be housed in The Grub too, making the College’s unique artefacts more accessible.
