Knauf’s artful expertise speeds Merseyside college build
Technical support and acoustic expertise from Knauf has enabled architects BDP and contractor Vinci to deliver a school that provides an exciting mix of learning environments and social spaces despite being built to a tight budget.
Built on a budget of just £1191/m2
, St John Bosco Arts
College is a new build secondary 1,100 place Catholic girls school in Croxteth, Liverpool, delivers 15% more area than the traditional BB98 school, enabling greater flexibility to create both transformational and inspirational spaces.
Acoustically, the challenge was to provide an exciting mix of learning environments and social spaces within a 91m x 55m three storey single span column free environment that is focussed on an open space at the centre of the school. This public atrium space with a green hill at its heart that acts as the hub around which cellular classrooms and breakout spaces are clustered to suit various
educational functions but all of which set different requirements in terms of achieving the requirements of BB93.
As a result, BDP project director, Mark Braund said, “The building feels like a new breed of school, unique, contemporary and an excellent example of how small budgets don’t necessarily have to deliver standard products. The design creates excellent passive supervision between the various activities and allows for pupils to be inspired and ‘learn by seeing others do’ in the varied and rich environment.”
