Extra space for school with Terrapin build system

Terrapin has lent its offsite building expertise and flat pack building system to provide a comprehensive school in Worcestershire with additional learning space.

Terrapin's Unitrex flat pack building system has provided a fast solution to an urgent requirement for additional space at Hagley Catholic High School.

The factory fabricated Unitrex panelised units were quickly assembled onsite.

Terrapin was able to achieve rapid completion of a single storey classroom, taking five weeks for onsite works.

The school's recently completed Terrapin building has a 22.5 degree pitched roof and includes a lobby, store and a 54m2 classroom with an energy efficient air conditioning system for heating and cooling the area as required.

A ramped approach and low threshold entrance door provides for disabled access in accordance with Part M of the building regulations.

The building structure is designed to conform to BS6399 Part 2 1997 relating to wind loading, and insulation to walls, floors and roof complies with heat loss requirements under Part L of the building regulations.

The cedar clad facade is combined with a natural stone aggregate finish perimeter skirt and white powder-coated aluminium window frames to complement the style of existing school buildings.

Using standardised system components and quality assured factory fabrication, Unitrex is suited to temporary or permanent low-rise building projects.
