PHd are delighted to have designed and delivered this new three-storey facility.
The facility has been essential to the region's growth and has dramatically increased the college's capacity to train the next cohort of plumbers, electricians, and carpenters.
One aspect of the client's project brief required that the building services and structure remain exposed so that it could become an exemplary teaching aid for the construction students.
In depth consideration was required to ensure adequate fire compartmentation and egress routes etc balanced with security and acoustic separation between spaces.
Constructing a complex building joined directly onto a functioning college campus to a fast-track programme required the highest levels of communication and project management with the client and the contractor Interclass Construction Ltd.
To facilitate the new build, the site access off Long Acre Lane was relocated which required the external levels to be significantly manipulated to ensure full DDA access was maintained.
