Completed in 2015, this project was carried out to meet the increasing demand in student numbers at a Nottingham based Secondary School.
The scheme was produced to provide 6 general purpose teaching Classrooms, dedicated ICT Classroom, Tutorial and Interview Rooms, Staff area and Toilets. The ‘U’ shape structure was formed to neatly fit into a vacant corner of the site, without impacting on an existing access route that now wraps around the building to the rear. Improved car parking was also implemented as part of the scheme, along with pedestrian access to nearby areas of the School campus. The new structure boasts a specialist lighting, heating and ventilation system. A covered canopy providing waiting areas for students externally has been introduced on the frontal elevation, with a series of entry points within providing direct/dedicated access to the adjacent Classrooms.
Our team oversaw this project right the way through from feasibility to completion. A detailed 3D visualisation package was produced to convey the design to Students and Staff, and to aid a strict planning process. A tendering process to achieve good value for money was carried out during the construction planning stages, and a series of site inspections during construction by SRA followed.
Niell provided me one of the most professional services I have received. The quality of service was outstanding, Niell answered the phone every time and answered any questions I had the same day whether by email or phone. The plot I was looking at was also of a beautiful design. I would confidently recommend anyone to use SRA Architecture.
I have worked with quite a few architectural practices over the years, I can honestly say SRA are in the top draw category of design companies. Their designs and drawings are of a really high standard. They are thorough and methodical. Their specifications leave little to doubt which means you can precisely quote for what you are being asked to build. […] Plus they are nice people, professional and easy to work for.
The designs that SRA produced were outstanding. The layout works perfect and the specification is exactly what we were after! SRA oversaw the whole project through to completion and ensured the building was delivered as expected.
SRA have designed new houses and building alterations on a number of projects we have tendered for and worked on over the past 20 years or so. Their plans and specifications are consistently clear and thorough and the architectural work in the construction phase has been excellent. I have found them to be one of the leading practices we have worked with throughout this time.
I found SRA Architecture online as I was looking at purchasing a property and needed input from an Architectural Practice who knows the area. I came across these guys and I was very impressed with the amount of knowledge they had. Neill is very much approachable and goes out of his way to find out all the information, and this in turn gave me the confidence of whether to make the purchase or not – I highly recommend them.
Highly recommend, Niell at SRA fully appreciated the need to balance the history of the house, conservation area requirements and modern living in the design for our renovation and extension requirements.
