Putting immersive learning at the heart of a major school redevelopment

When Fitzalan High School in Cardiff embarked on a £64million project to rebuild their premises from the ground up, they wanted to ensure students had access to future-thinking facilities that would enhance the outstanding teaching on offer.
As part of their redevelopment, Fitzalan approached Igloo Vision and Aurora Immersive by Osborne Technologies to build an immersive classroom which could be used across all departments and by students aged 11-18.
Installed in September 2023, the Fitzalan Immersion Studio is a big hit with students and staff, and has so far been used for virtual fieldtrips, to inspire creativity and to celebrate the history and diversity of the Tiger Bay area in Cardiff. It’s even hosted an immersive history lesson for the Prince and Princess of Wales.
