February was a busy month. The School, GCC, the designer, project manager and the contractor's team have been finalising the design, both in the building and the play areas.
Some of the many issues looked at were:
• ceiling heights, service zones, roof, wall and floor constructions
• fire strategy
• natural ventilation for classrooms and halls, design of windows and doors
• location of MUGA and hard and soft play areas
This detail ensures the planning drawings accurately reflect the technical requirements for the building. We have also been checking the costs of what we are proposing to ensure we stay within our budgets.
On 10 February we all went to see the progress of the new Oakwood School (being built by Kier Moss) and look at some of the details there. You can view their blog - http://oakwoodprimaryschool.blogspot.com/2009/11/introduction-to-oakwood-primary-school.html
On 15 February a Public Consultation was held at the school. Neighbours and the community were invited in to look at the plans. The feedback was very positive and some useful comments were made.
