Atkins provided construction design management, architecture, quantity surveying and BREEAM advice on this Pathfinder primary school located in the north-east of England.

The school incorporates a nursery and facilities for early years, wrap around care and special needs, and a room for use by community groups. In response to the brief for an affordable, low carbon school, the building features a timber frame, an extensive green sedum patchwork roof and selective areas of green wall. The roof and green wall helps reduce CO₂ emissions and rainwater run-off, reducing the risk of flooding while providing a natural ecological habitat and learning resource.
