Education
The education system is being challenged more than ever with new initiatives such as the 14-19 programme, dual use/community facilities, extended hours of operation and the raising of the school leaving age. The design of successful education buildings has to reflect and embrace these changes, including taking into consideration direct and indirect impacts on learning performance, such as environmental and physiological comfort.
“The Etone College Sixth Form building is an architectural triumph. It is an inspiring venue for learning and teaching; it will be a beacon of educational quality for years to come”.
Colin Turner, Headteacher, Etone Colege
BBLB’s education design philosophy is based on: addressing these new objectives whilst also providing a safe, stimulating and adaptable learning environment to facilitate not hinder these changes; incorporating measures to reduce the environmental impact and meet sustainable development criteria; delivering good value within budget; and achieving high quality in design & construction. We work with our education clients and their teams to further our understanding of the nature of learning – both today and anticipated in the future – to provide a building that is flexible and adaptable to facilitate expansion and change.
