Manufactured in York, the two-storey teaching block for the foundation school’s English department comprises 22 12m long steel modules. The units were craned into position during school holidays to reduce any disruption to staff and pupils.
Situated in an attractive parkland setting, the scheme, which was completed on programme and within budget, has allowed the school to expand its accommodation with eight new classrooms in time for the start of the new academic year. Features include large picture windows and a variety of claddings – timber, render and blue powder coated panel detailing – to add interest to the building envelope.
The benefits of this innovative and multi award-winning approach to construction include:
- Significantly less disruption to teaching
- Enhanced thermal efficiency, lower running costs and reduced carbon emissions
- Guaranteed completion on time and on budget
- Improved quality
- Programme times reduced by up to 50 per cent
- Improved safety on site
- Greater design flexibility and architectural variety than ever before.
