The two-storey building will feature a green roof with photovoltaic panels. The grass playing fields and MUGA will also have extensive SUDs (sustainable draining systems) featuring attenuation, swales and porous parking areas.
As part of its commitment to both education and sustainability, Bouygues UK will deliver a sustainable, low carbon building with a CLT timber structure, and an enhanced quality construction approach through consistency, off-site manufacturing, and the reduction of waste and defects.
The buildings will also be clad in brickwork and timber panelling with feature aluminium framed entrances, with work expected to start in January 2024.
