Caunton are currently supplying over 400 tonnes of structural steelwork for an appealing secondary school in Grimsby which incorporates 7,000m² of further teaching accommodation. The building incorporates a two storey teaching block and single storey curved area which can be seen illustrated below.
The mix of linear and circular shapes enables classrooms to be different shapes and sizes, offering a flexible approach to learning. The single-storey curved area is set to be the technology base with the rectangular second floor providing the majority of the classroom accommodation.
An additional yet appealing feature to the first floor is a full height and full length glass wall to the main ICT area which is set to create an inspiring focal point to the school.
The building being designed with a structural steel frame has proved to be of great advantage to the school as the structural frame allows for all internal partitions to be removed and reconfigured in the future should major change be required to the facilities
