The offsite modular process means that smaller buildings can be completed on site in as little as 6 weeks and the construction areas are self-contained with deliveries managed to minimise disruption to the school.
TG Escapes offer a free site survey and bespoke building design to all customers in education. This service helps schools to explore ideas and visualise what can be achieved with a timber frame building without obligation.
From single classrooms or breakout rooms to chapels, canteens, sports pavilions and performing arts studios, all buildings are completed to an A+ energy rating using sustainable materials on a timber frame. They enhance wellbeing by following biophilic design principles:
- Incorporate natural elements.
- Provide easy access to the outdoors.
- Use materials and textures that reflect those in nature.
- Maximise penetration of and exposure to natural light.
- Provide a healthy level of interior air quality.
- Provide views of the natural world outside.
Schools benefit from energy saving in the long term as well as an eco-friendly addition to the school estate. Buildings can include living roofs, sun pipes, covered decking for easy outdoor access, flexible partitions, multiple access points and separate security.
Staff and students like that these eco-buildings use natural materials and provide fantastic naturally lit interiors and views of the outside. They become very special spaces in an educational setting because the calming, natural buildings are good for student and staff well being and enhance educational outcomes.
