Education

A proper learning environment depends on a number of elements, including acoustics, lighting, ventilation and classroom space.

Our Education team addresses these areas based on our vast experience in the procurement, design, construction and operation of 21st century education facilities. We have a solid achievement record in delivering groundbreaking projects for schools, colleges, universities and research centres.

Through our extensive knowledge, we can advise you on all procurement methods, including Building Schools for the Future, PFI, PPP, and Design and Build. At all stages of the development process we’ll advise you on how to meet the government’s vision of transforming schools into innovative and inspiring learning environments.

By improving England's secondary school buildings and facilities, the Building Schools for the Future initiative aims to raise educational standards. We are helping to provide stimulating and exciting learning environments which significantly improve educational achievement.

Using the educational vision and aspirations of existing schools, we incorporate ways of dealing with issues such as underperformance, behavioural problems, extended schools and the integration of ICT into building design.

Our developments are created with the future in mind. We are committed to sustainable techniques, such as:

• DQIs
• BREEAM
• SEAM and ECON 54
• CEEQUAL
• sustainability appraisals
• whole life costing
• lifecycle impact design assessments
• public consultation.

We'll use our expert design knowledge to make sure your development encourages the best in educational achievement.
