Springfield Nursery – New Classroom. We were approached by Springfield Day Nursery to provide a new classroom building to replace a temporary structure. The challenge was to design a sustainable and sensitive scheme to clad the existing classroom, whilst managing to keep the classroom operational. The site is also is a very sensitive rural location, where design was a key consideration. A scheme was developed to envelope and extend the existing temporary classroom structure with a glulaminated timber frame. This frame would be clad in timber cladding, and the structure would be finished by a curved sedum roof. This would allow the building to be super-insulated whilst creating interesting and engaging aesthetic to the exterior. The interior spaces would be light and airy, and create great spaces for nurturing and learning.
