The single storey timber framed structure is founded on an insitu reinforced concrete raft. The envelope is clad with cedar boarding and facing brickwork and incorporates ‘Velfac’ type windows that are heat and rain sensitive. The roof is a ‘ribbed single ply type.
The screeded beam and block ground floor conceals an under floor heating system. This system uses a thermal heat loop recovery process wth the heat being taken from a depth of 80 metres.
The storm water drainage system utilises a ‘wildlife friendly’ silt attenuation pond with the external works included the installation of a sports pitch and permeable tarmac hardstanings.
