The Project
Additional building to accommodate six ICT Classrooms
TMV Architects prioritised an innovative design for the new classroom block, integrating natural light and ventilation for student comfort and a pleasant environment. The exterior has a contemporary finish using textures, tones, and details. This approach aimed to break away from traditional school designs to create an attractive modern space.
Critical deadlines and minimising disruption during the school term were key, with Kingspan ULTIMA chosen as the preferred solution due to its:
Offsite construction: Allowing for a fast on-site build of the timber frame with each panel prefabricated offsite, including the upper and lower roofs delivered in cassette form to improve construction efficiency.
Thermal performance: To help reduce heat loss and achieve the desired levels of airtightness to meet the project requirements.
