planning a new school building?
requirements
Bournemouth Borough Council, like many other Local Authorities around the country, have had to accommodate year on year increases in pupil numbers starting in reception.
Modulek successfully tendered to design and build the 1700m2 permanent modular and traditional extension, to the existing school in Hadow Road, Bournemouth.
the building
Constructed in just over six months, the new building consists of sixteen classrooms, changing rooms, a full commercial kitchen able to serve 800 children, a large staff room, and toilet and shower facilities. The new hall has a seating capacity of nearly one thousand students: the largest primary school hall in the area!
The works completed by Modulek didn’t stop at the new building; External works completed for the contract included the reinstatement of the sports field, hard play areas including a MUGA, all drainage and service connections, all fencing, and road and landscaping works. Modulek also redeveloped an existing courtyard to provide the school with a new library.
The building was officially formally opened by Conor Burns MP at the official opening on Friday 6th February 2015.
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.
