Multi-classroom Facility

Five new classrooms installed in just 18 weeks

We presented an innovative speeded up timetable to the programme of works suggested in the original bid so disruption during term-time waw significantly reduced.

We achieved this by completing the majority of demolition, groundworks and frame erection whilst the school was unoccupied. In total, five new eco-classrooms were designed and installed as double and triple classroom units, and skilfully positioned into the school's tight site.

To start with two classrooms were demolished whilst the other two classrooms remained until they were demolished at the end of the programme, to ensure the childrens' learning wasn't disrupted, during the build. The clients were so impressed with what they received for their money - the quality of the finished product was far superior to what they originally hoped for or expected. So - the clients were totally satisfied with eco-classrooms on factors including the Quality of the Product and Service provided, and on delivering the project on-time and within budget. Likewise the children are really impressed with their new classrooms - see some of their letters below.

Because the school is less than 0.5 miles from one of Europe's busiest airports and runway, a significant reduction in acoustic noise levels was needed - This was far higher than a true relocatable modular building could achieve.

The client also required superb thermal insulation levels, to reduce the associated running costs of the building.  These eco-classrooms achieved excellent EPC ratings of 28 = on the cusp of A rates, with a Buildings emission rate of 14.29 (kgCO₂/m²).
