In 1996 The Froebel Institute commissioned Robert Adams to extend their Education Building. The commission was to expand this building to accommodate a larger education department with a particular requirement to facilitate the study of Froebelian ideas by the simulation of a classroom in the training space.

The design was for a lightweight first floor structure over the existing buildings flat roof using an expressed tree shaped columns. The expressed overhanging eaves, which were extended over the two-storey part of the building, give solar shading to the teaching space and weather cover to the external escape stairs. The building has a distinction that relates well to the classic landscape of the Wyatt designed Headquarters building Grove House.
