School building model
Discussion
Evening all
Probably boring to most of PH, but may be of interest here
I've recently completed the design/build of a new school - nothing that special (apart from it's one of the first Passivhaus schools locally)
What may be of interest to you is that the school is a replacement for an old school building (circa 1840ish - again not that intriguing model wise) - but the school wanted to bring a legacy from the old school to the new and someone involved works for Aardman....
So what we have is a perfect model of the old school - and I mean 'perfect' down to external lights/signs/finials etc.- it is utterly epic - I have designed and commissioned an ash pedestal/glass unit for it to be displayed in too
I can get some pics if anybody is interested? - I may do anyway to remind myself of the journey - it has been quite a journey - £10m new school and a mere couple of grand getting the display done without the model in question!

Off my works laptop atm so no pics yet. I only just remotely thought it might be interesting to you lot on here Everything is better with pics .
I have some photos but it really needs some macro(ish) photos to do it justice (school signs/basketball hoops etc)

Yes please - interested in the energy efficiency specs as well.
Post Covid jab today so wiped out Passivhaus isnt a secret but in terms of roughly what we did: -
RIBA Stage 1/2 with PHPP (google it)
Stage 3: Fabric first approach ( enhanced U values, triple glazing etc) seriously low airtightness (0.35 air changes in this instance) again with PHPP
Stage 3: BIM stage 2 compliant spatial co-ordination with more PHPP
This ended us up with a circa 300sqm PV array feeding an ASHP and a centralised MVHR (I dont think I will do centralised again)
The above was Passivhaus co-ordinated by a Passivhaus consultant and a certifier
It's the first school I've done with Passivhaus - probably the last tbh. Way too much material/design cost for a public building
I've missed loads but you get the point I hope
I'll get some model pics up over the weekend - this is more about the model than the new build (but I can add renders of the virtual new build model if you like)

As somebody who was the Finance Lead on a couple of Academy builds I would have been quite nervous of all that tech and who was going to pay for the maintenance I assume it was a Design & Build scheme?Passivhaus isnt a secret but in terms of roughly what we did: -

yes - D&B - but we took it to Stage 3 as we can nail the clients scope/cost plan better that wayjules_s said:
Yes, it's the old school building
The new one is a big ugly box
Oh. When you said 'What may be of interest to you is that the school is a replacement for an old school building (circa 1840ish - again not that intriguing model wise) - but the school wanted to bring a legacy from the old school to the new...' I thought that somebody wanted to preserve the architectural heritage of the area.The new one is a big ugly box
£10M on a school. Let's hope the pupils all go to Oxbridge.
NB If I may say so the roof tiles look a bit Wallace and Gromit...

Wallace and Gromit? - well it was done by someone in Aardman roof slates are made of cd cases iirc
I found it on google earth for context
This is like deja vu and really interesting for me ... I had a similar project (not Passivhaus) mid 2000s for an old small village school similar to yours. I did the architectural, structural and landscape design and then project managed the build for my client. The new school was built on a new site and the old school has since been sold and converted to a dwelling.
This is the old school:
