Ireland, we’ve got you covered - Schools move to zero this summer! For us, the summer months are a time to manufacture, install and help schools and businesses to #movetozero. Delivering for educational sites across Ireland, July & August are when we can install new modular buildings on school grounds with minimal disruption. This summer marks our busiest period, and as we close out July and start a new month, we’re nearing completion on some of our biggest educational contacts to date including the provision of new facilities for: ✔Ériu Community College, Dublin ✔Inver College, Carrickmacross – phase 2 ✔Scoil Naomh Mhuire, Keash, Sligo ✔Coláiste Mhuire Co-Ed, Thurles A significant install landed onsite just last month for Ériu Community College, Blanchardstown. Featuring 52 modules, the sustainable two-storey block spans 1,600sqm, and includes specialised classrooms for SEN and Home Economics. A SEN soft play area will also feature. We are happy to report that all four schools are on target for handover by the start of the new academic year. We want to extend our thanks to our outstanding supply chain team for their unwavering dedication and efficiency. This combined with the strong working relationships we have cultivated with our client teams enables us to deliver exceptional results, with the majority of our project timeframes being below 16 weeks from contract to handover. Our educational projects sit alongside many organisations and businesses who are #movingtozero, recognising the huge benefits of Modular Construction and Green Building Practices.

A challenging tight site optimised to maximise density. Whist Phase 1 took an existing planning consent not optimised for modular which we worked tirelessly with DMDmodular to make work, Phase 2 became a masterclass, optimised to reap the benefits of offsite volumetric modular construction. You wouldn't know to look at it, which shows how this approach can really work in inner city constrained sites in the face of record high construction costs.

The Architectural Record article "𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲" explores the intersection of sustainable design and affordable housing, highlighting innovative strategies for creating energy-efficient, cost-effective housing solutions. The health impacts of the #BuiltEnvironment are especially significant in the affordable sector, “more so than for market-rate buildings because for a long time the built environment has perpetuated social inequities.” Susan Puri, #AffordableHousing director at #ILFI, referring to data that correlate low-income communities with poor air quality and other environmental hazards, The article discusses the importance of incorporating #SustainableDesign principles into affordable housing projects and showcases examples of successful projects that prioritize energy performance. It also emphasizes the role of continuing education in advancing sustainable design practices in the affordable housing sector.

📝 Case Study: Planning permission secured for Sussex and Surrey Institute of Technology (SSIoT) Our Gatwick-based planning team was appointed by Chichester College Group to secure planning permission for a brand-new education facility south of Crawley College campus. The £15 million Sussex and Surrey Institute of Technology (SSIoT) is designed to provide high-quality learning environments housing specialist construction, engineering and digital ‘learning factories’. The designs embraced renewable energy technology and water harnessing and recycling systems to reduce energy consumption and wastage. Planning partner, Suzanne Holloway collaborated with key stakeholders on the design to ensure swift approval – from our client and the architects, to the local planning authority. Having addressed water neutrality challenges to deliver an efficient and sustainable development, planning approval was achieved. Construction is already underway and the centre is due to open to students in Autumn 2025. "We are indebted to Suzanne Holloway and the team at Vail Williams for getting this vital development across the line. This new building will give us more opportunities to educate and train people to address the skills shortages in the engineering, construction and IT industries."

Nationwide Study on Student Housing Preferences 🏠 As building professionals, it is often easy to make assumptions about what our end users want or need. Recognizing the limitations of this approach, https://www.a4ac.co.za/ undertook a comprehensive nationwide study to explore the preferences in student housing as they relate to students' diverse backgrounds. 📊 This research aimed to uncover the real demands and expectations of students across various regions, providing a factual basis to inform our architectural designs. Ill be presenting our results of our study at the PBSA 6th Annual Conference, scheduled for 25th-26th April 2024, in Durban. This presentation will delve into the significant findings and their implications for the future of student housing design. 📈 We invite our peers and the broader architectural community to join us in this important discussion at the PBSA Conference, as we collectively explore how data can drive more effective and inclusive design solutions. 🤝 https://lnkd.in/d6yViAVv
