The state-of-the-art new building comprised five classrooms, along with a small group meeting room, a staff room, toilets and storage. The building occupies a prominent site at the front of the school campus, with modern facilities to enhance the education of pupils.
The completed scheme achieved a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating and is a net zero-carbon facility, operating at a negative carbon impact. To further boost the environmental credentials it has been designed and constructed to the stringent ’Passivhaus‘ standard, the first for Shropshire Council. The end result is a highly efficient building that consumes very little energy and delivers very high levels of comfort for all users of the building.
The building represents record-breaking levels of sustainability for Shropshire Council by delivering a future proofed education facility that stands out from the crowd as a ‘first of a kind’ in achieving Net Zero operational carbon.
The development has been commended for its innovative design that makes a positive contribution to alleviate the climate change emergency. This sustainable project was carefully designed and constructed with net-zero carbon credentials and has enhanced biodiversity and habitats.
