Client: Bournemouth Borough Council, Dorset

Project: Linwood School, Bournemouth

Need: To provide new facilities that complement existing buildings. The new building will be used to provide a safe learning unit for autistic and visually impaired children.

Solution: A new single storey permanent modular building was provided and finished in brick cladding to complement the existing buildings. A 45 degree pitched roof was supplied with natural 'roof' lighting. Every entrance and fire exit has been fitted with landings and ramps for wheelchair access. Offset timber fencing was provided, encircling the building, to give protection to the children in the play area. This fencing also helps to deflect the noise from the neighbouring areas.

Internally, the building has enhanced noise reduction features including robust impact resistant walls that have additional sound insulation. Every door has been designed to have finger protection and push plates, which are colour contrasting, to help visually impaired children.

The building was manufactured in Rollalong's quality controlled factory, including the internal fit out and installation of all mechanical and electrical services prior to delivery to site, erection and connection to mains services.

Duration: The project took just four months to complete.

Client comment: "The modular system not only provides a cost effective solution to the provision of limited financial resources but also provides a new structure which has complemented existing structures by using traditional quality materials."
