Education

A succesful learning environment depends on a number of elements, including acoustics, lighting, ventilation and classroom space.

Our M&E engineers have vast experience of providing excellent educational projects and ensure the schools are designed based on site specific energy efficiency measures coordinated with the school and suitable renewable sources employed and utilised as an educational facility for the pupils, including costs evaluations and benefits criteria.

We work closely with the Design Team and Client during the Design and Construction phases to evaluate the Energy Performance of the Building to ensure the final Energy Performance of the Building achieves a high efficiency band and makes a clear statement to the Educational and Public Sectors, that the school is energy efficient and provides an excellent learning environment.

Hereford Sixth Form College

The Project involved the creation of an inviting, uplifting entrance, providing a new face for an established and successful further education college. The scheme sought to bring an “event” to the street scene and create a sense of arrival at the first building entrance on the campus from the main pedestrian entry point. The building needed to integrate with a diverse existing building stock from the 1970s to the 2000s, and provide improved connection both to the street and the existing college buildings.

Studies have shown that wellbeing-focused environments can directly impact patient recovery. We balance people-centred design with the clinical standards required for high-spec spaces.

Our experience spans every type of healthcare project: from local health and social care centres, community hospitals and mental health units, to research facilities and large-scale medical campuses. The delivery of a safe, secure and healing environment is our number-one priority; creating spaces that make the life-changing work of healthcare professionals that little bit easier.
