The new teaching block and library serves as an inspirational model for turning environmental best practice into reality.

Using Moeding Alphaton panels with the Helgrau Standard finish, the teams at James and Taylor and architects Taylor Young have constructed new builds that are functional, yet match the aesthetic of the existing college.

Commenting on the award, Andrew Barstow, James and Taylor Sales Manager said: "Increasingly we are receiving briefs for projects that demand a high environmental standard across all aspects of the building process: from the use of sustainable materials to developing a finished project that has a low impact on the environment".

"As a company we have a long-standing commitment to environmental best practice and are delighted that these efforts have been recognised by BREEAM".
