Hayes School – Classroom Building
Elliott Off-Site Building Solutions has completed a prestigious new classroom building at Hayes School in Bromley, Kent. The building creates a new school library, student support facilities, speech and language
class, along with provision of a new state-of-the-art facility for Media, English and PE teaching.
The new classroom block’s external walls were finished with Sto render and cedar timber cladding, providing a visually pleasing and sustainable rainscreen façade. Concrete floors were used for both levels and the building has a high performance single ply membrane roof along with aluminium windows and external doors.
A reduced carbon footprint was achieved for the building by using Elliott Off-Site’s innovative hybrid construction techniques, along with a range of sustainable design features. The new building befits its
surroundings by achieving a 20% reduction in CO2 compared to current building regulation requirements.
Other sustainable elements designed into the building include maximising natural daylight through the use of rooflights, a high efficiency condensing boiler supplying low pressure hot water (LPHW) heating. Air
conditioning to the classrooms is provided by energy-efficient air source heat pumps.
“We are immensely pleased with our new school building. It is a very attractive building that enhances our school campus and an excellent learning environment. The rooms are bright and spacious and the width of corridors and stairs facilitate comfortable and sensible movement. The building is both great quality and excellent value for money.”
