Education
Building with the future in mind
There has never been a more exciting time for education. Not only are we building more schools than ever before, but we are now focused on creating new learning environments to inspire our students and young children to ever higher educational achievements.
The Government’s pledge to rebuild or renew every secondary school in England over the next 10-15 years has demanded a different approach. It requires close cooperation across the design and build team and a new emphasis on robust systems and techniques that speed up the build process whilst providing flexibility to accommodate changing use and class sizes. This is equally applicable to other educational buildings around the country.To meet these challenges, our companies have developed new products and systems that meet our demanding sustainability standards, yet are faster to build, with reduced whole life maintenance costs and inspirational colours and textures. They have the strength and durability needed to cope with intensive use throughout their life-cycle.
