This two storey STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Building at Varndean College was procured using the JCT Design & Build form of contract and provided modern teaching accommodation comprising four science laboratories, five teaching areas and one SEN classroom with offices, staf-froom and ancillary facilities across 1230m2 of floor space. Plan-ning requirements required the building to be designed and con-structed to a BREEAM standard of \u2018Very Good\u2019.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″ animation=””]\n

Strategically placed CFA reinforced concrete piles supported concrete ground beams upon which a suspended reinforced con-crete ground floor slab was poured.<\/p>\n

The superstructure comprises a structural steel frame with a composite metal floor pan and low profile concrete floor to first floor level. External walls comprised a local brick outer skin combined with powder coated steel cladding over a Metsec framework and insulation system. Velfac windows are fitted to all elevations, together with steel security doors at all exits and an automatic front door system.<\/p>\n

The roof structure comprises a metal deck with 125mm Kingspan insulation and a single ply roof covering over. The roof has 16no. rooflights and AOV\u2019s grouped in a symmetrical pattern directly above the atrium and feature stair.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_widget_sidebar show_bg=”false” sidebar_id=”sidebar_20″][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
