JPP’s brief for this project was the design and detailing of a new single storey steel frame school building and associated external works.
Challenges: a complex roof structure comprising multiple levels, pitches and construction fabric; site being constructed concurrently with the adjacent housing development; management of surface water tying into site wide drainage proposals.
Innovation: Liaison with adjacent developers to aid construction of foul and surface water drainage outfalls from our site and construction of new vehicular crossovers; surface water management proposals to comply with EA guidelines for SUDS. Modelling of the structure in REVIT allowed 3D co-ordination with other members of the design team.
