Conservation through education! Education buildings can cover a range of developments and typically carry a varied collection of operational profiles; all of which require an intimate level of care.
From nurseries and special education facilities to libraries, colleges, and leisure facilities the ethos is the same, to understand the learning trends of the end users and fit these within the project parameters in order to provide a building that is environmentally efficient, flexible and conducive to learning.
It is essential to work closely with the whole design building services team to discuss the specific challenges associated with educational building whether it be a refurbishment of an existing facility or a new build and appreciate the funding application processes, financial balances, risk management and phasing where possible to ease the works within closure periods or minimise disruption to operation facilities.
