SB 4154 Web

Dear Reader,
Welcome to the Summer issue of
School Building.
In this issue we bring you two
case studies, the £12m CECAMM
at the Isle of Wight College, which
has been nominated for two
awards, and Lillmunkens Förskola
pre-school in Munkfors, Sweden,
which received the Sustainable
Building of the Year award by the
Hållbar Byggande Värmland
Association.
We take an in-depth look at the
use of canopies in schools, where
they are incorporated into the
design to allow shaded play areas,
extra usable outdoor space, and
even dining halls, and show some
great examples.
The construction and
maintenance of school buildings is
always in the news, as schools
struggle to accommodate
increasing pupil numbers, some in
a very poor state of repair, and
some with classrooms held in
temporary buildings, permanently.
A survey by the NASUWT, the
Teachers’ Union, reflects the
shocking conditions that some
teachers are expected to work
under, and the effect this has on
them, and their students.
Let us know what you’re working
on, we’d love to hear from you!

20 Roofing & Facades - Get the best results from your school roof

assets, or simply react to problems as they occur and then deal with the
consequences?
26 Article - Take cover…
Canopies are a clever way of making outdoor space useable for much more of
the year - because whether it’s January or June we’re never quite sure what
the weather will bring!

A £12m scheme, funded by the Solent Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP), which

When it comes to world class sporting
facilities in education, Dorset’s Bryanston
School ranks amongst the best in the country.
Its former pupils even include a double
Olympic champion. So, when it decided to
add three new elite sports performance areas
to its already extensive facilities, the aim was
to ensure the project delivered world class
facilities for the next sporting generation.
TVS Sports Flooring was chosen to help keep
the school in sport’s fast lane.
