Challenge
The academy received Condition Improvement Funding (CIF) to replace a dilapidated mobile with an eco nursery extension. A design was developed for a 30 place nursery comprising learning space, kitchen, sleeping room, toilets and office space with a tarmac play area. The only access to the new location was through the main entrance and across the playground on a fully ‘live’ school.
Solution
‘Fabric first’ optimised Structural Insulated Panel (SIPs) structure
Timed deliveries avoid disruption to the 'live' school environment
Ultra low energy thermal battery, heat pumps and LED lighting system
Clean air and low VOC internal finishes to assist with improving air quality
Finished in timber cladding with double doors for free flow outdoor access
