Our Approach
The brief
This is a first-class development comprising high quality dedicated laboratory facilities, prep rooms and commercial space. The laboratory accommodates pupils and staff, acting as a training space for school teachers across all age ranges, to equip them with the skills to inspire the next generation of scientists back in their own classrooms.
The design
This project adopted a highly insulated fabric-first airtight approach, along with ‘thermal bridge free’ timber frame construction and mechanical heat recovery systems. This resulted in an EPC A rating as well as achieving both BREEAM Outstanding and Passivhaus certification concurrently, a first for the construction industry.
