Description

The primary structure consists of a braced steel frame with a suspended precast concrete split level beam and block ground floor.

Lightweight sloping roofs were used throughout and external walls consisted of blockwork with timber or render cladding. Much attention was paid to the interface between the new and existing buildings, including the integration of the existing drainage system.
