Education

Greenfield and brownfield developments on primary and secondary schools, colleges and universities across Northern Ireland.

Featured project

North West Regional College

The project comprised a six-storey 3,400m² extension to the existing Strand Road Building, housing the main campus reception, IT suites, laboratory areas and general teaching classrooms, together with a six-storey 5,800m² new build facility, the Foyle Building, for performing arts, student services and general teaching.

The two elements were linked at Level 4 by an interconnecting bridge spanning Strand Road. To meet the set BREEAM targets, the mechanical design adopted:

  • Individual classroom control with either dedicated heat recovery comfort heating and cooling or perimeter radiant panels
  • High efficiency condensing gas fired boiler plant
  • Variable speed drive motors to all pump and fan motors
  • Natural ventilation where design conditions permitted
  • A site-wide Building Energy Management System with a dedicated front-end computer to enhance Estate Services controllability and functionality
