Challenge
The academy received funding for a specialised department and developed a stunning design for a first floor extension comprising: 7 classrooms, toilets, offices and lecture theatre. The site is adjacent to the main car park and access point for the pupils with maintaining a fully 'live' school a key requirement.
Solution
Light weight hybrid timber, glulams and steel structure to reduce loadings
Modelled each component for the structure to overcome issues long before starting onsite
Implemented timed deliveries to maintain the 'live school' environment and maximise crane days
Performance to meet low energy local authority targets
Externally finished in render and attractive fascade panels
