Sixth-formers proud of their new building

To expand their school facilities quickly and cost-effectively local education authorities are turning increasingly to factory built, modular construction. Not only are great savings achieved in construction costs and site development times, but the steel framed buildings look just as pleasing and are as equally robust as those that are built using traditional building techniques.

The King’s School in Ottery St Mary is just such a case. Its new two-storey building, designed and built by Wernick Buildings was delivered over four days, which is fast for a 723 square metre, 15 room building.

Internal and external finishing work took 20 weeks to complete from the date of delivery to site.  The work included a pitched tiled roof with a vented Dutch gable at each end, and a brick and rendered exterior wall. 

The 6th formers are not surprisingly very proud of their purpose designed facilities and the expansion of the geography department’s accommodation will allow for a general increase in student places throughout the school.
