THE BRIEF

SIBCAS were asked to provide an entire decant school in high quality modular buildings during the demolition and new build of the existing buildings. It was imperative that the relocatable classrooms were ready for when the students returned from their summer break so that their teaching environment was not disturbed.

PROJECT SCALE

• Total floor area of 4,200 square metres
• Two storey PermaSpace modular accommodation

BUILDING USE

• Classrooms
• Refectory
• Administration
• Photography Studios
• Staff Room
• Computing Suites
• Toilet Facilities
• Storage Facilities

CHALLENGES

• Logistics problems
• Planning restrictions
• Tight timescales

OUTCOME

Planning permission was successfully gained through close liason between SIBCAS, our client and the planning authorities. We overcame access and traffic problems by drawing up a detailed logistical plan to ensure all buildings arrived on site at their allocated time. When it came to fitting out the Permaspace relocatable classrooms, we involved the college in a collaborative design process to ensure that each room was suited to its individual requirements. The building includes the latest in innovative designs for lighting, temperature control, ventilation and high specification data installation. The modular buildings were successfully completed prior to the pupils return from their summer break.
