The Stable Company: Flexible spaces for education

Facilities
As attitudes towards education alter and evolve, there is growing evidence to suggest that diverse learning spaces are beneficial to a child’s education. This can mean escaping a traditional classroom environment in exchange for a flexible, more contemporary space and timber construction is proving to be the first choice for many schools and nurseries.

As well of the style and purpose of education buildings, there is an ever-growing need to increase places in line with new housing developments. These targets have a knock on impact to schools that require the ability to accommodate additional student intake without putting increased pressure on budgets which may already be strained.

The Stable Company is experiencing a sharp rise in schools seeking timber outbuildings as a method of tackling both of these issues, with exciting results.

Timber buildings deliver aesthetically pleasing, practical solutions by acting as flexible spaces for teaching, outdoor/indoor pursuits such as soft play, gardening clubs, physical education spaces or multi-purpose rooms. A new style of ‘open use’ room is a firm favourite with features such as connecting doors, bi-fold doors to open out an entire side of the space or use of canvas awnings to allow for indoor/outdoor use whatever the weather.
