Wednesfield Technology Primary School, Wolverhampton
Client - Tilbury Douglas
A new Passivhaus standard primary school in the West Midlands.
We are working collaboratively with Tilbury Douglas on this pioneering scheme, procured via the Department for Education’s MMC1 Framework, providing civil and structural engineering services.
The project, comprising of a new technology primary school for 446 primary school pupils, aligns with the Department for Education’s aspirations for low carbon energy-efficient schools.
The design, by architects Corstorphine & Wright, is to achieve Passivhaus standards and certification requirements which means, for the structure, a completely insulated surround including the foundations. Using non-traditional construction methods, the new two-storey school building will be constructed using Structurally Insulated Panels (SIPS).
The new facility, incorporating a two-storey teaching block with a single-storey hall and kitchen, will also provide 26 nursery places and two-form entry classes at key stages one and two.
