Details |
From initial concept drawings we enhanced designs for cost effective solutions to meet the buildings operational requirements. External staircases and balustrades were designed utilising our Radan Parametric programme, unique to us, this gives us the ability to laser castleate and slot stringers and other parts for easy assembly by our technicians and welders, reducing factory assembly and welding time significantly.
Balustrade panels were also developed this way and laser cut with patterned perforations for final folding after laser cutting. Our frameless glass balustrade system was also utilised to bridges and balconies.
The brilliant Academy design offers students an environment where they feel safe, secure and valued.
The welcoming open reception area sets the tone of the Academy, and encourages students (and staff) to feel excited about being there and to promote “out of the box” entrepreneurial thinking.
Students are based in learning villages, and will develop a sense of belonging and security by having a base, as well as a locker for personal belongings and the support of a guidance team around them. They will move from this area for practical subjects and P.E.
The building has been designed to cater for students with difficulties and disabilities – allowing access for all.
