New performing arts building completed - and a highly sustainable solution
Published:  10 December, 2009

Foremans Relocatable Building Systems, the UK’s largest supplier of recycled and refurbished modular buildings, has completed a new performing arts centre at Swanshurst School in Birmingham after only nine weeks on site. 

Because the building is constructed from pre-owned building modules, it is also a highly sustainable construction solution.

Swanshurst School is a specialist science college for girls, with 1,800 students.  The new purpose-designed performing arts centre was required to support music, drama and dance across the school, replacing outdated temporary classrooms which had been in use for the past 20 years.

Designed by Bournville Architects, the centre is clad in silver aluminium panels to provide an attractive yet robust finish which also complements the school sports hall. 

The pre-owned modular building was fully refurbished and reconfigured to the school’s exact requirements.  It provides a dance classroom, two drama rooms, an ensemble room, two music classrooms and two individual music practice rooms.  Special requirements included blackout facilities, lighting rigs and extensive acoustic protection between rooms.

Foremans specialises in the supply of quality recycled and refurbished modular buildings, designed to individual project requirements.
