New Build
This is an exciting expansion of an inner London primary school from a two to three form entry. The proposals include a new two storey classroom block and entrance, connected via a glazed link to the existing school. Works will both expand the number of pupils and improve the overall layout and operation of the school. The new classroom block is to be constructed to Passivhaus environmental standards with exceptional levels of insulation and airtightness. The building is also designed to take advantage of passive solar gain. Good air quality is provided by a mechanical ventilation system with highly efficient heat recovery. The specific heating demand of the building will be less that 15KWh/m2.yr. This should yield energy savings of up to 80% compared to standard construction. The project aims to reinforce the school’s role as the heart of its community with extended family provision, a free broadband service and a multi-use games area (MUGA) that is open out-of-hours.
