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 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.
