Modern design and build facilities,
tailored for the education sector

We plan, design, and build modern facilities for the education sector, tailored for dining halls, social space, classrooms, special needs and offices. Our integrated project delivery model provides seamless coordination between stages from consultancy to construction with an in-house specialist team, delivering faster projects for less cost.

Proven Methodology

We work consultatively with some of the education sectors largest MATs to plan and deliver on capital works programs. ZONE is our way of offering class leading build times and value per m2 that cannot be matched by traditional methods. Whether it’s an extension to an existing building or a new, stand-alone structure, ZONE can give you the extra space you need at less cost. Environmentally efficient with striking modern lines, they look equally stunning alongside existing buildings, both historic and contemporary.

Architectural Design Flexibility

The Zone design form, with its vaulted interior and elevations glazed to the roofline, brings the benefit of natural light with a feeling of spaciousness, providing a distinctive architectural contrast to existing buildings.

Image Description

Building Interface

Zone Glazed Buildings are designed to integrate with your existing buildings both in terms of architecture and usability. Engineered interface solutions are available for masonry, rendered finishes (including insulated types) timber clad and aluminium curtain walling systems.

Flooring & Finishes

With each Zone Glazed Buildings being tailored to the intended usage and budget availability, there is considerable scope to accommodate your flooring specification; from resin bound aggregate surfacing, to commercial vinyl that provides continuity with adjoining finishes.

Accessibility

Within the aluminium curtain walling design stage we can accommodate internal door systems for compliance with all statutory regulations and external sliding doors to facilitate alfresco dining and operational circulation.

04
Heating & Ventilation
Using DTM (Dynamic Thermal Modelling) analysis we design heating and ventilation systems to meet the year-round temperature and airflow criteria for the statutory use class. We then engineer solutions in accordance with this from a range of efficient air source heat pump climate-controlled systems to maintain a comfortable environment
05
High Performance Insulation
Advanced materials and building systems enable Zone Glazed Buildings to deliver consistently high levels of year-round operational efficiency.
Realise the benefits of flow between existing and new, without the restrictions of layout, floor level and ceiling heights associated with modular buildings

ZONE BenefitsREDUCE RUNNING COSTS

Advanced thermal modelling and analysis at pre-construction stage balances building envelope efficiency with building services
Each ZONE Design Build project has low-carbon, cost-effective and renewable air-source heat pumps at the heart of its building services provision

TESTIMONIALS

The new area is superb
They designed a building which best fit the specific location with a stylish, sympathetic and pleasing structure.

The team understood completely what we were wanting to achieve and the need for the new structure to fit sympathetically and aesthetically alongside our existing buildings, which were only five years old. They worked closely with us on the design, fitting out and installation. The finished conservatory fits perfectly and looks as though it was designed when the original building was constructed. We are very pleased with the result

STEPHEN LESTER MBE

Chief Operating Officer, West Lakes Multi Academy Trust

The design was just right
They did a great job and completed on time

The results have not only resolved the school’s dining space issues, giving students more space to sit and eat, but the building also looks great – creating a real wow factor! The team offered a great service and value for money – I would highly recommend them.

CHRIS BROWN

School Site Manager, Denmark Road High School

With their ZONE concept
they have helped us to create additional quality dining space at a very affordable cost

With matching glazing, the new structure fits in beautifully with the style and finishes of our College buildings and we can control the heating and ventilation to maintain a comfortable environment all year round. Work has been completed to a high standard and we would have no hesitation in recommending them to other Schools and Colleges with a similar requirement

Tony Whitehead

Facilities Manager, Luton 6th Form College

It is even better than we imagined when we started the project!
I would recommend them and encourage other schools to come and have a look

It is busy at all times from before school, during break, lunch and after school. The sixth form have also made use of it as a quiet study space where they can go and grab a coffee and do some work in a lovely light environment.

SUE WAGSTAFF

Business Manager, Sponne School

I like working with the team
They’re forthcoming with everything

There are no hidden costs and they’re solutions-orientated which is great for someone like myself. It’s above anything a traditional build can do. For the value, it’s superb.

DALE RICHARDSON

Director of Estates & Sustainability, Loughborough College

They not only stuck to their timescale,
but were very accommodating when carrying out construction.

Installation happened during exam season, so we occasionally needed noise to be at a minimum level for obvious reasons. The team were able to manage and influence that to allow the students to concentrate.”
