Schools in Livingston, Bathgate and Stoneyburn will see structural work to remove Siporex panels and repair concrete lintels

West Lothian Council is investing £10 million to fix structural issues caused by Siporex at three West Lothian schools.

Council Executive gave their support to proposals in order to address construction issues at Knightsridge Primary in Livingston, Windyknowe Primary in Bathgate and Our Lady’s Primary in Stoneyburn.

The £6.7 million programme for Knightsridge Primary will involve a complete replacement of the Siporex panels, also known as Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) panels.

Pupils were relocated to either Deans Primary School or Deans Community High in November 2022 following a structural report.

Windyknowe Primary has a £2 million programme to remove RAAC panels, which are only found in the nursery and a specific part of the first floor of the school.

Remedial work, including replacing concrete lintels that have deteriorated, means that a £1.3 million investment programme is required at Our Lady’s Primary in Stoneyburn.

Executive councillor for education Andrew McGuire said: “It’s essential we continue to invest in our schools to ensure they remain fit for purpose.

“This £10 million investment programme will address historic construction issues in our school buildings and ensure they can continue to service their local communities for many years to come.”

New Facility Accommodates 15,000 Students

Scott Tallon Walker Architects were appointed as Design & Build architects as part of the Belfast-based Lagan Group and Portuguese Somague-Engenharia Joint Venture Team for the design development and construction of the new 75,000 sq. m. Ulster University campus.

The new building, which opened for the 2022/23 academic year, adds 75,000 sq. m. of campus space, making it one of the largest higher education capital builds in Europe. Accommodating over 15,000 students and staff, the new facility’s design reflects Ulster University’s commitment to sustainability and community engagement, and also supports the wider masterplan for the Belfast region, which has already seen an estimated £1.4 billion investment in its wider regeneration.

The exemplar design took its architectural inspiration from the surrounding hills of Belfast with the stepped building form, 11 stories over a twin basement at its highest, adding 75,000 sq. m. of additional campus space. The new building fully occupies its 2.4-acre site, bounded by York Street and Frederick Street, and is connected by a new pedestrian bridge to the existing University buildings across the street. As one of the largest capital builds in Europe, the building features over 300 learning spaces, a two-storey library and nine catering outlets arranged around five atria. An internal ‘campus’ of pedestrian routes and publicly accessible spaces allows the new building to be integrated with the surrounding streets making the new university feel like part of the city. The completed building achieves a BREEAM Excellent rating, one of the leading sustainability credentials in the market.

Multi Million Pound Educational Institute

Construction to begin on multi-million pound state-of-the-art educational institute

Expansion work will start this month as part of Hartlepool’s £25million Town Deal

An engineering company is set to start work on an expansion as part of the moves to create a skills academy of the future.

Seymour Civil Engineering has received planning approval for further development of their Skills Academy in Hartlepool’s Brenda Road. It will expand its existing training facility, combining construction and civil engineering, to create a state-of-the-art educational institute.

The institute is a partnership between Seymour’s, Hartlepool College of Further Education and Hartlepool Council. In 2021, it secured a share of the £25 million Town Deal fund in order to support the consolidation and growth of teaching and training at their two existing sites, the college’s Exeter Street Annex and Seymou’s Skills Academy in Brenda Road.

Initial Towns Deal research highlighted the need for economic transformation in Hartlepool, particularly within the provision of high-quality learning and skills productivity. The institute is receiving a combined £2.2m of external funding through the Town Deal, with £1.4m allocated to the Brenda Road site and the remainder allocated to the Exeter Street Campus.

The project aims to reduce the critical skills shortage in the construction sector by encouraging the uptake of formal qualifications, job opportunities and youth engagement.

Adam Harker, managing director at Seymour Civil Engineering, said: “We are proud to play a leading role in the upskilling of our industry, providing multiple routes into civil engineering and construction. The current skills shortage represents one of the biggest challenges to our industry.

“This partnership with Hartlepool College and Hartlepool Council, and the significant investment into the skills institute is going to bring a fantastic opportunity not only to the local community who will benefit from future career prospects, but also the wider industry as it helps to overcome these challenges.”

According to the Construction Industry Training Board, between 2023 and 2027 the North East requires an extra 7,900 workers in this sector. Construction at Brenda Road is due to begin this month and includes new modular classrooms and training facilities such as a telehandler tower and temporary timber framed bungalow.

Darren Hankey, principal at Hartlepool College of Further Education, said: “We are committed on delivering a centre of excellence for practical civil engineering and construction training. It is widely acknowledged that there is a critical skills shortage in the construction sector. The academy hopes to tackle this by promoting lifelong learning to meet the ever changing demands of this industry.”

Cllr Shane Moore, leader of Hartlepool Council, said: “So much hard work has gone into developing this important Town Deal project, so I’m delighted for all concerned that planning approval has been received. Providing residents, particularly our young people, with the skills they need to develop successful careers in this key sector is vital for the future of the town and its economy.”

 

The five Town Deal transformation projects include renovation of the former Wesley Chapel, connectivity waterfront improvements, reimagining of Middleton Grange Shopping Centre and the development of educational institutes in health and social care and civil engineering.

£10m Hit on Failed Free Schools

The Department for Education has taken a £10 million hit after selling the buildings of failed free schools to mostly private property developers.

An investigation by Schools Week found it also spent an additional £10.9 million on upkeep, such as security, maintenance and utility bills, on the empty sites.

The government revealed after a parliamentary question last year that it had sold 20 buildings due to house free schools since 2017.

A later Freedom of Information request from Schools Week showed the it had spent £131 million snapping up 16 of the sites for which it held full data.

But these were sold on years later for just £120 million.

Experts suggest prices may have been high initially as developers pushed prices up if they knew the government and its property company LocatED were interested. The need for school-suitable sites may also have limited choice.

Hayley Dunn, a business leadership specialist at the school leaders’ union ASCL, said the findings were “alarming”, adding the amount of money lost “raises serious questions around due diligence”.

“The DfE needs to urgently review its processes to stop this from happening. At a time when schools and colleges have to fight for every penny they receive from the government, these staggering losses make for particularly grim reading.”

The department lost money on 11 sites.

£5m loss on Hampstead Police Station

Hampstead Police Station in north London was bought for £14.1 million in 2015, but sold for just £8.9 million in 2021 after planning permission for a free school failed.

The department also paid £1.4 million in upkeep costs on the vacant site, including £700,000 on security.

The Camden New Journal reported the building was vandalised during a Hallowe’en party in 2020. It was bought by Redington Development to be turned into homes and offices.

Another £4.3 million was lost when Penn School in Buckinghamshire was sold to software billionaire Peter Kelly for £7.2 million in 2021. There are no details on why a planned free school was scrapped.

The DfE spent £1.3 million on upkeep and made £300,000 from location charges for filming, but it was reportedly in a poor state of repair. The Victorian building also became grade II listed, which may have impacted the price. It could now become a boutique hotel and restaurant.

Christine Bayliss, a former civil servant in DfE’s free school unit, said in the “early days” of the free school programme she would advise “proposer groups not to make it public that they were searching for land as it was a well-known thing that developers would push their price up”.

Jeremy Pilgrim, the managing director of School Property Matters, said because schools needed unique buildings, it could “make it harder to get a good deal – the market is much tighter”.

The department made a profit on four buildings, including £4 million on the Met Building in east London which sold to Metcom Ltd last year for £57 million. But it spent £2.4 million on the building’s upkeep during attempts to open an all-through school.

Sale profits wiped out by upkeep fees

When demand for primary school places declined in Croydon, Ark scrapped plans for a school and the site was sold for £4.2 million to Mayday Road LLP. Although this was £100,000 more than the buying price, profits were wiped out by £800,000 upkeep fees.

In total, £2.4 million was made from 16 sites, including £800,000 from commercial leases, filming and parking charges at the Met Building.

Dunn said property was usually “one of the best assets for wealth growth and these sales have been carried out at a time when the market was booming”.

According to the Office for National Statistics, the average UK house price has risen by 31 per cent between November 2017 and 2022.

Meg Hillier, the Labour chair of the public accounts committee, said if the money was put into existing capital for building repairs “it might be better” for children in crumbling schools.

The DfE said it did not pay in excess of what a site was worth, or purchase expensive sites, if there were better value-for-money choices in the area. It would also aim to recover assets and identify an alternative educational use for a site.

A spokesperson said: “The free schools programme has allocated more than £8.5 billion since 2010, delivering over 650 new schools and providing more than 390,000 good school places across the country.

“We take a strategic approach to the overall management of that investment, taking account of the overall value-for-money position when making decisions to acquire or dispose of a site.”

Leading by example

Working with award-winning EPR Architects and Hollis M and E Consultants Zumtobel and its sister brand Thorn, both lighting brands of the Zumtobel Group have provided a complimentary lighting scheme to the Royal Society of Blind Children for its new uplifting centre.

 

There are an estimated 39,000 blind and partially sighted children and young people in England and Wales. Every day, four more children will be diagnosed with sight loss.

These children frequently live wonderful and fulfilling lives. However, statistically, they are at a disadvantage. The Royal Society of Blind Children (RSBC) believes no child in the UK should grow up to be poor or lonely just because they are blind. Through its Families First service, it works with parents and carers to help them provide the best possible environment for their young person to grow and develop.

Additionally, it offers a range of programs, online tools, and a specialist further education college to impart practical guidance and ways to help children develop relationships.

EPR Architects were tasked with designing the charity’s new headquarters – a Life Without Limits Centre. The design transformed an unused basement car park on London’s South Bank, gifted by the Richard Desmond’s Building, into an engaging hub of activity. The facility includes a contemporary workspace for the charity’s staff and flexible spaces for young blind and partially sighted people to meet, play and learn essential life skills.

Bringing the Life Without Limits Centre to life

EPR Architects employed an inclusive design, using a palette of high contrast and tactile materials to improve sensory navigation of the space, with playful and colourful interiors embodying the charity’s mission and creating a vibrant, uplifting centre.

The Zumtobel Group were approached by EPR architects to provide a lighting scheme that would bring the centre to life and make the new office spaces look fantastic.

Diffused light caters for all sight abilities

As with all basement spaces, there was an obvious lack of natural daylight. The only source is via the entrance at the top of the stairs. So, the scheme needed to include high lighting levels.

The users of the space, registered blind, and partially sighted children, were the top priority so high lighting quality was essential. Due to the range of sight abilities, low glare solutions with good uniformity were selected to avoid high contrast between light and dark to help the children’s eyes to adjust.

Tom Lobak Regional Sales Director at Zumtobel Group, explains, “we met all the challenges presented by using lots of diffuse lights. The completed scheme makes the space feel bright and inviting for both the students and staff alike.”

Central to the new facility is a creative suite for music and sensory experiences. Decorative acoustic 4000K ONDARIA luminaires reduce echoes in the ceiling less space. The round luminaire in creative suite and the boardroom delivers uniform backlighting with a tactile textile cover to absorb sound. For a coordinated aesthetic, mixed-sized ONDARIA luminaires have also been used in the boardroom.

In the reception area, the distinctive CIELUMA tunable light ceiling eases the transition between outside and inside. CIELUMA imitates outdoor daylight, in line with the Double Dynamic Lighting concept; it brings dynamic, motivating light indoors. With its sound-absorbing properties and a host of design options, CIELUMA brings a new quality in connecting light, acoustics, and space.

Two Zumtobel classics light the entrance and offices respectively, 4000K LIGHT FIELDS and ECOOS. ECOOS brings a 360° radiant light with a timeless minimalist design to create a comfortable and relaxed working environment for office staff.

To overcome the low ceiling heights, LINARIA is surface mounted along the corridors; however, unlike a typical installation, it throws light onto the ceiling to increase the sense of space and height.

Completing the scheme, Thorn OMEGA PRO 2 luminaires are installed in the kitchen.

 

Shalni Sood, Director of Philanthropy, Royal Society for Blind Children, comments, “The lighting in the new RSBC Life Without Limits Centre has transformed the underground space into an accessible, ambient, welcoming space for blind children and young people and our staff. The design is sleek, modern and energy efficient. Thank you, Team Zumtobel Group, for being such great listeners and creating an uplifting and positive environment. It has been a great pleasure working with you”.

 

Supporting RSBC’s noble cause, EPR Architects, Hollis Global, and Zumtobel provided all products and services free of charge.

As a result of the success of the retrofit scheme, the Zumtobel Group has been awarded the lighting project for the next office upgrade.

Engineers at LJMU have gone out and bought a dog!

The School of Civil Engineering and the Built Environment at Liverpool John Moores University leads the way with ‘robot dog‘ investment

LJMU becomes the first university in Europe to acquire Spot and the 3D Laser Scanner with software as a package and plans to use its £150k investment for teaching and research.

It’s four-legged and likes a little walk but ‘Spot’ won’t be barking or looking for cuddles because it’s a robot dog designed for all terrains and ideal for construction and civil engineering surveys.

 

Supplied and adapted by BuildingPoint UK and Ireland (the construction arm of Liverpool based mapping and surveying equipment specialists, KOREC), the robot dog has been developed by American robotics company, Boston Dynamics, in conjunction with Trimble who are the manufacturers of Spot’s 3D Laser Scanner payload.

The end result is an agile, fully autonomous, four-legged robot that can be used to enter buildings which are unsafe for humans or to survey building projects as they progress.

The robot dog can either undertake fully autonomous pre-programmed missions or can even be operated remotely and controlled off-site. Both options will ensure that Spot is a perfect fit for survey requirements in hazardous conditions or for carrying out repetitive survey tasks, freeing up a skilled surveyor to work elsewhere.

Sam Hough, BuildingPoint UK and Ireland Business Manager, said: “LJMU is really at the forefront of what is happening within the construction industry which is currently undergoing a digital revolution. Not only is Spot an important addition to construction sites from a health and safety perspective, but also a significant reminder that if the construction industry is to overcome a skills and labour shortage, then this is just the sort of technology to attract a new, motivated generation of engineering surveyors. 

Spot is presently active on several construction sites following investment by major construction companies so for LJMU to already be preparing the next generation of engineers in this way will be of considerable importance for the industry as a whole.”

Dr Fiona Borthwick, Interim Subject Head of Civil Engineering and Built Environment, also added: “We’ve been excited about Spot for a very long time, so we’re pleased that we now have our robot dog up and running. It’s a great plus for our students that they will be familiar with this technology before they go full-time into the industry, and we look forward to further exploring Spot’s capabilities and options for different payloads.”

Plans to redevelop the James Calvert Spence College site

Plans to redevelop the James Calvert Spence College site on Acklington Road were shown to the public at a consultation event held by Northumberland County Council on 25 January.

The public were given a week to send in their feedback, and NCC then intend to submit a formal planning application at the end of February. If you want to look at the plans, you can see them here:  https://dppukltd.com/ambleschools. You need to submit your comments before 1 February.

A new school building will be built on land next to the current Middle School, (formerly used as a hockey pitch,) after which the existing Acklington Road campus will be demolished and the land used for football and rugby pitches.

The South Avenue building will be extensively modernised to provide space for children from Amble First School, and 50 Special Educational Needs places for youngsters from Barndale School in Alnwick.

All the power in the new buildings will use electricity via air source heat pumps, solar panels on the roof, and LED lighting. The intention is to create a ‘net zero carbon in operation’ school.

As well as improving the teaching and learning environment, improvements to the on-site sporting and community facilities will be accessible to the wider community during out of school hours. The enhanced facilities include:

• A floodlit 3G full size football pitch
• A Multi Use Games Area
• A series of football and rugby pitches
• An all-weather running track

Over £36m has been agreed by Northumberland County Council to be spent on the school building development and upgrades to schools in the Coquet Partnership.

The current three tier educational system will be changed to two tier, requiring expansion to Broomhill, Grange View, Red Row and Amble Links first schools, which will now become Primary schools taking pupils aged 4 -11yrs. The new JCSC building will be able to take up to 720 pupils aged 11 to 18yrs.

Members of the public will be able to comment on the proposals once the planning application is submitted.

How will the plans benefit the community?

Northumberland County Council say that the new plans will not only provide vast improvements for schoolchildren and teachers, but the enhanced sports provision will benefit the wider community.
A floodlit 3G football pitch, traditional sports pitches, tennis courts/multi use games area, and a revamped running track will all be available to the public. There is also a four court sports hall.

Access to the sports facilities and parking will be provided by the school. A community use agreement will be set up to ensure the prices will be in line with other similar facilities in the area.

Comments:

“It’s great seeing the plans being displayed for this long-awaited school and seeing the sports and community facilities on offer.”
Jeff Watson, County Councillor

“It would be marvellous for the children and for improvements in their education, but personally I still have concerns with the community use. I am also concerned about the traffic using Acklington Rd during construction”
Helen Lewis, Town Councillor

“I am really pleased with the plans, there are quite a lot of children from the Amble area who come to Barndale. We’ve had lots of input in the designs and it’s moved forward quickly from the initial concept.”
Mark Phillips, Head of Barndale

“As a community charity working with young people in Amble we are pleased with the plans for the new school building, while a little disappointed with the community elements. We want to contribute to the community use plan that will be part of the process as the project moves forward.”
Matthew Connolly, Amble Youth Project

“I’m excited for the floodlit running pitch.”
“I hope there are more toilets, and wider doorways, as at the moment we all collide, so it needs better student traffic flow.”
Two Year 9 students

New Resource Base for Deaf Children

On Tuesday (Tuesday 17 January), Southampton City Council’s Cabinet gave approval for the construction of a new specialist deaf facility at Newlands Primary School

 

The new resource base which was designed by Southampton City Council’s in-house Design Services Team will be a purpose built space for deaf children and will be a single storey extension of the existing school which will include:

  • Two new classrooms
  • Two group rooms
  • Staff working room
  • Toilet facilities

Works to Newlands Primary School are planned to start in the spring with the new school facilities anticipated to be ready for use in the autumn. Specialist services are currently being provided from a temporary modular unit at Newlands Primary School which opened to pupils and teachers in December 2021.

Whilst the planning approval for this new project was secured last year, yesterday evening Cabinet approved the additional £660,000 required to enable the scheme to be delivered.

Councillor Darren Paffey, Cabinet Member for Children and Learning at Southampton City Council, said:

“This investment will give deaf children the best possible, inclusive, high-quality school setting where our dedicated teachers and staff can meet their specific needs.

“We have a growing number of pupils with complex needs including those who are deaf, so this funding will allow Southampton City Council to meet the needs of more deaf pupils by creating more local school places.

“The expansion will ensure that the pupils of Newlands Primary School are fully included in all aspects of school life.

“This demonstrates our ongoing commitment to see our children and young people given the best possible start in life by putting their health and wellbeing at the heart of what we do”.

Karen Mellor, Headteacher at Newlands Primary School, said:

“We are excited to be getting a purpose-built, specialist resource base for deaf children as this will really enhance the inclusive education we offer at Newlands Primary School.

“The new building will ensure that no child is left behind with their learning as it will provide the amazing teachers of the deaf and support staff team with the facilities and resources they need to give excellent learning support, therapy and other specialist services to our children”.

REDEVELOPMENT FOR ST. MARY’S

St Mary’s School has commenced the redevelopment of its Senior School in Bateman Street, Cambridge, this week, as part of a project that will transform the school’s learning environment for current and future generations of students. The development, which is part of a larger capital investment programme across the school’s sites, will include both enhanced classroom provisions and significant improvements to the overall appearance of the school buildings.

St Mary’s has a long history in Bateman Street, which has been home to its Senior School for 118 years. The current site has not undergone any major building work or renovation since the 1970s.

Following planning approvals, and a short delay to the original construction dates, work began in earnest on 16 January 2023, with completion for this first phase targeted for early 2024. During these initial works, the ‘Crush’ Building, which is located at the Senior School site overlooking Bateman Street, will be remodelled to include a new two storey extension comprising four new state-of-the-art classrooms. This new area will be constructed using cross laminated timber, which is manufactured off-site, to reduce project timescales and minimise the potential for disruption.

The next phase of works will consist of significant enhancements to the school’s frontage. The entrance to the building will be pushed back – creating a larger lobby. This will improve accessibility for parents and students at pick up times. It will also create a public space, which the school will support with enhanced landscaping.

Summer 2022 also saw the completion of an initial round of works at the Senior School, with the refurbishment of the dining hall and the addition of a new outdoor classroom and a LAMDA Speech and Drama teaching space.

Charlotte Avery, Headmistress at St Mary’s School, said: “We are delighted that work has begun on our ambitious Senior School redevelopment project. We look forward to creating an inspiring learning environment in which current and future students will thrive. Our long-term vision is now becoming a reality and the investments we are making today represent a tangible expression of our future ambitions for the school and its pupils. This really is an exciting time for St Mary’s and we look forward to reaping the benefits of our work soon!”

Building inclusive schools

Image: Meadowbrook College

By Claire Mantle school sector lead at ADP Architecture

Latest Government figures show that close to 1.5 million pupils in England have special educational needs (SEN). That’s 12.6% of pupils who now need some kind of SEN support, most commonly relating to Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and specifically to speech, language and communication. It’s a sizable fraction that speaks to our growing understanding of diverse learning needs.

The Government recently revealed its green paper for educational reform for young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), which sets out proposals to offer children the right support in a timely manner, levelling the playing field. The review and proposals are very welcome, but only represent the first step in providing a robust and inclusive education system, and may take many years to come into effect.

ADP’s experience has shown us the essential role of architecture and design in making schools more accessible, and in providing environments that nurture all pupils as individuals – an agenda all schools will need to embrace moving forward.

Through our work, we have learned, for example, how important routines are to young people with ASD. Dealing with the unexpected, planning ahead, shifting between tasks, and controlling impulsive behaviour can all be causes of anxiety for these students. Equally difficult can be navigating confusing building layouts and learning within a cluttered classroom space. In addition, many young people with ASD have difficulty processing sensory information, creating barriers to communication. As a result, unstructured times such as lunch-breaks can be especially challenging.

As architects, one of the simplest ways we’ve found to help reduce these daily frustrations, and to help manage challenging behaviour, is by designing and adapting buildings so that they build on and develop children’s confidence and independence.

Designing spaces through our senses

A key consideration here is proxemics – the science of understanding personal space. Pupils with ASD generally need more physical space surrounding them, so we aim for wide corridors, generous room proportions, and multiple visible exit points. Designing within a single storey helps children navigate a building independently, though this is obviously not always practical. Simple landmarks aid independent navigation, as does signage which is simple, clear and relevant.

The transition from drop-off to desk should be free from distractions and obstructions. Materials, patterns and colour can have a huge impact on someone’s journey to and from the classroom, especially when crossing thresholds or turning corners: something as simple as speckled vinyl can be unsettling and disruptive for pupils with ASD.

To make inside spaces comfortable, visuals should not be overstimulating – less is more! It’s important to avoid direct sunlight into a space or reflections that could cause distraction. Orienting a new building to avoid solar glare can also help reduce overheating; in learning spaces with large windows, you can use films on windows to allow the light in while avoiding visual distraction.

Natural, textured materials and finishes also help here. Pay careful attention to colour: earth tones such as greens can induce calm and blue aids concentration, but reds and yellows can be overstimulating.

The internal environment can be a challenge for people with neurodiversity if acoustics have not been considered correctly. Deadening reverberations can be vital, and as architects we specify products which are particularly good at absorbing sound when designing a classroom. It’s also worth considering the noise made by equipment: buzzing lights, for instance, can be distracting for people with ASD.

There will be times when pupils will want to retreat and have time on their own, so it may be appropriate to have ‘calm’ rooms for respite, and to incorporate quiet seating areas off corridors. Looking beyond the student community, it’s important to consider support areas for parents, and access to pupil therapy suites if possible.

All students – not only those with ASD – should feel a sense of belonging to their school. To achieve this, we often use co-design with students. Finally, it’s impossible to understate the importance of nature. Outdoor spaces relieve stress and anxiety, help develop social skills, and motivate learning – particularly for those with SEN.

While the Government’s green paper is a positive long-term framework for change, many of the design considerations above can be implemented with almost immediate effect. They demonstrate the importance of knowledge-sharing, between local government, schools, architects, and other specialists, in helping to create learning environments that support the education, wellbeing and everyday lives of every individual child.
