Rapid delivery required for Hounslow early learning facility
Borough of Hounslow Council. The new, single-storey facility in
A
Norwood Green was manufactured and built by Actavo | Building Solutions in 11 weeks. Comprising a large hall, quiet room, kitchen, bathroom, WCs and staff office, the early year’s facility was built to meet BREEAM Very Good’. The nursery is sustainable as defined by the ‘triple bottom line’ – people, profit, planet – says Actavo. The exterior of the new facility has
been finished in a brick slip with a covered canopy area. Actavo has delivered a perimeter wall around the facility that will have an electronic gate to maximise safety. Additional facilities also include new bike and buggy stores, as well as a large, grasscrete car park. Matthew Goff, director of UK
operations at Actavo said: “Modular building methods are proving popular with educators as they wrestle with how best to accommodate pupil influxes. “Speed and versatility were essential to
Norwood Green. They needed permanent space, fast with many modern innovations, which make it both energy- efficient and a delight to be in.”

Canopies to maximise your outdoor areas
introduced by Canopies UK. The Italia’ aluminium structure and
A
silver shine finish combine to create a striking appearance, with a choice of curved or flat and angular roof shapes to complement the style of building and the surrounding architecture. Available in a variety of sizes and projections, the range comprises five different models, including the curved Monza and the flat Sienna system. “We wanted to introduce a canopy that
doesn’t just deliver in the functionality stakes, but makes a real visual impact too,” says Jason Eastwood, md at Canopies UK. “Increased competition means creating the right first impression really counts within the sector these days, as does the on-going demand of having to cater for increased class sizes

NEW canopy designed to help schools and colleges get more from their outdoor space has been
using existing facilities. “The Italia helps educational settings
overcome these on-going challenges by providing them with a modern, sleek and highly stylish solution to creating more teaching, play or parent waiting space. Thanks to its contemporary design, the Italia can also be used to transform receptions into grand entranceways and other areas into instant focal points.” Site-specific calculations are applied to
individual design and manufacturing processes, ensuring each Italia modular system is tailored to the exact requirements of the school. The self-supporting cantilevered
system means there’s no need for posts at the supporting end of the canopy, which enables free-flowing footfall in and around entrance areas.
