requirements
Situated on a beautiful 16 acre site and home to 2 listed buildings, Beech Hall School needed to demolish an existing building and replace with a brand new Science and Technology space. With restricted access a specialist plan was put in place to ensure a smooth delivery with minimum disruption.
The turnkey project started with the demolition of the existing building. The site was then prepared to receive a piled foundation with 99 individual piles and a perimeter ground beam. New gas and water mains were ran 60m in trenches to the new building.

the building
All of the building was installed in a single day after a complex delivery procedure involving an additional mobile crane and an off-site vehicle change location to negotiate the extremely difficult access.
Internally, specialist equipment and teaching facilities were fitted for the dedicated science lab and design technology room.
A brickwork exterior skin was constructed on top of a new ground beam for the required traditional appearance. The building was finished with bifold doors and anti-slip decking for pupil and staff safety.
modular school buildings
Modern Methods of Construction lend themselves perfectly for the design and construction of new school buildings that benefit from a truly unique modular approach.
A modular school building is one that is constructed off-site as individual units and is then transported to site and erected into a complete building. Modular school buildings are the perfect solution to additional classroom blocks, sports halls, science labs, humanities blocks and sixth form buildings. The end results is often indistinguishable from a traditional school building.
