Sports hall transforms Bedfordshire academy


now been completed, completely reimagining the 600 pupil school’s teaching facilities and sports opportunities. PCMS Design designed the modern,


S


new extension to the original school site, with Building Services Design (BSD) providing mechanical and electrical (M&E) engineering support for the project. “The six classrooms and sports hall are


a standalone block,” explained Adam Middleton, senior electrical engineer at M&E practice, BSD. Adam continued: “The new sports hall


comprises four new Sport England compliant courts, which are to be used for both the school’s own netball, basketball and hockey teams as well as for community hire; making it an incredibly inclusive space – and one which will support not just the school but the wider Henlow population. “There are also attached changing rooms


as well as an 88 sqm storage facility.” BSD provided technical support to


PCMS Design to ensure that the delivery of the M&E engineering services for electricity, gas, water and the fire alarm system ran smoothly and to specification. The sports hall has a standing seam


zinc roof, which is curved to the hall and pitched to the storage room, as well as architectural louvres which allows for air flow through the area. Alex Bond, PCMS design director and


project manager said: “PCMS Design engaged BSD to advise on the performance specification for the mechanical and electrical installation on a large educational sports hall and classroom block project at Henlow Church of England Academy. “We found its services to be invaluable


in the early planning stages, and throughout the specification process when specialised M&E skills and


knowledge were needed.” Head teacher Caren Earp said: “Thanks


to the incredible design team, we now have a fantastic new building which is going to be of huge benefit to our children, increasing the number and range of opportunities for sport that we can now offer.” The project was funded by Central


Bedfordshire Council and the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA).

OMMUNITY football in Kingstanding, Birmingham has received a huge boost thanks to a new Football


Football Foundation. North Birmingham Academy is located in


Kingstanding in Birmingham, which educates over 1,000 students from the ages of 11- 18. The academy aims to ensure that all children, regardless of their background or postcode, have access to a great education. In 2013 the academy opened the doors


to its £24 million rebuild, which included a modern Pulse Fitness suite, two large dance studios and four changing rooms. The installation of the new full-size floodlit 106m x 70m 3G AGP will now provide first-class football facilities for both students at the academy and the wider community to enjoy.
