Value: £129k
Construction of a new single storey extension to provide a Specialist Support Centre for pupils comprising classrooms, office, sensory room, hygiene room and WC, and construction of an extension to provide new library accommodation along with associated refurbishment works within the existing school and external works. The SEN extension will be a single storey flat roofed two classroom extension with two classrooms, and toilets. An existing year 2 classroom will be adapted to provide a hygiene room, SEN office, sensory room and quiet room.
The form and the materials of the extension take their ques from the 2013 expansion project, which in turn is respectful of the flat roofed system build original building. The old and new extensions will ‘bookend’ the new building. The new extension will have a low parapet with roof mounted air source heat pumps to provide low carbon heating. The air source heat pumps will be mounted away from the edge of the roof to mitigate their visual appearance. Two small flat roofed extensions will be added to an existing building for the Library provision. They will have MVHR to ensure good internal air quality and will be heated by extending the existing wet radiator circuit.
