Our team were approached by the Lumen Christi Multi Academy to produce a detailed Feasibility Study to help improve the existing kerb appeal and aspirational feel of St Thomas Aquinas Catholic School, Birmingham. With an established brief provided by the Client, we were responsible for conducting and managing a series of surveys to collect vital information required to assess proposal options. Emphasis on creating greater kerb appeal, an strong aspirational feel, successfully linking old areas with new, and communicating a strong Catholic identity formed the key points for the development brief.
A series of options were generated by our design team, each aiming to meet the key aspirations of the School in a unique manner. A series of detailed 2D layouts were first established, providing a dimensionally accurate base to develop a series of Artists Impressions to convey the scheme to a wider audience.
The project is presently awaiting receipt of the formal approvals from the Local Planning Authority, with our team progressing detailed specification information in readiness for construction. The full scope of works is set to complete by the Autumn term of 2024.
