Externally the project included removing a temporary classroom facility , and the previous sub-structure and replacing it with all new foundations , utility services , footpaths and an access road with external landscaping and drainage . Due to planning conditions and the rural setting , the exterior walls were finished in a brick slip and render finish , with aluminium doors and windows to ensure all building regulations were met .
Serving communities
The new teaching block uses photovoltaic cells on the roof to generate electricity , and each classroom includes a heat recovery ventilation unit to avoid heat wastage in winter . The ventilation units extract hot air from the new classrooms and use it to preheat the fresh air as it is brought in to ensure an optimum classroom environment for learning . The team also installed an air source heat pump and upgraded the corridor and classroom lights to energy efficient LED systems .
Taking into consideration the fluctuations the construction industry has experienced over the last three years , the idea of modular buildings seems a fitting solution to issues like the UK ’ s housing crisis and resource access . In 2021 , the government announced funding for 30 towns across England to boost their local economies , create jobs and new homes , and improve local skills .
Each of the towns shared over £ 700 million as part of the government ’ s multi-billion levelling up programme , with the towns ranging from seaside locations like Hartlepool to historic sites like Bedford and Bishop Auckland . The funding was set to include renovations to various attractions helping to boost cultural and tourism opportunities .
