The project compromised of a major extension and a refurbishment to an existing secondary school. The new two storey block feature entrance, staff and Admin Facilities, English Department, Library, Assembly Hall and Toilets, plus additional car parking and security features. The refurbishment phase resulted in a new Drama department and ICT suite, refurbished Lab spaces, Foreign Languages, Maths, Humanities, Art and Music Departments.
The Solution
The scheme involved the design of new shrub and tree planting to provide a visual enhancement to the car parking areas and the new school entrance, designed with BREEAM compliance in mind, whilst also satisfying the local planning authority.
