Description

The new building is a four storey steelframed ‘slimfloor’ construction to accommodate a clear span assembly hall, dining hall and design technology suite, together with a range of flexible teaching clusters. The new building is partly buried into an existing embankment to minimise impact on the adjacent listed building. Exposed concrete flat soffits have been used internally to allow a natural heating and cooling solution to be adopted.
