Bro Dysynni was procured under the 21st Century Schools programme and brought together four existing village primary schools on to a new site in the National Park on the western edge of Llanegryn, near Tywyn, Gwynedd The school is designed to accommodate 110 students with ages ranging from to 11 years old The challenge was to develop a new area primary school, and to create a transformed and inspiring learning environment appropriate for new methods of teaching and learning using new technologies within an environment designed to support initiatives to improve general educational standards A considerable amount of time was spent in engagement in consultation with the offices of Snowdonia National Park Authority, the Highways Department, the Police Architectural Liaison Officer, the “Safer Routes to School” Officers and Access Officers, to develop a clear vision for the general requirements and against the impressive site context RHONDDA CYNON TAF COUNTY BOROUGH COUNCIL DB3 SCHOOL ARCHITECTURE Porth & Tonypandy Schools DB3 provided services for two new middle schools (ages 3-11yrs) in Porth and Tonypandy for Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council - assembling and leading a multi-disciplinary team of local consultants Each project involved the partial demolition/refurbishment of an existing secondary school to provide the upper school accommodation (11-16yrs), together with the provision of an entirely new-build lower school (3-11yrs) Porth is designed to accommodate a total of 1140 pupils (330 lower/810 upper school); Tonypandy is designed to accommodate a total of 1260 pupils (480 lower/780 upper school) In keeping with the context of South Wales Valleys, both sites feature a challenging topography which largely set the parameters for the early master planning option study Ultimately, each new-build primary school would adopt narrow linear forms of 2-storey classroom accommodation that followed the contours and ridges of their immediate setting ROBERTSON CONSTRUCTION DB3 SCHOOL ARCHITECTURE Goldthorpe Primary School DB3 acted as Architect on behalf of Robertson Construction to deliver this new steel framed primary school on a brownfield site close to the existing school that was part of the overall Goldthorpe masterplan The School provides an important gateway for the town and delivers increased footfall to the retail centre The existing primary school was significantly lacking adequate facilities for today’s curriculum requirements and the capacity for the future increase in pupil numbers The new school accommodates 310 pupils and provides modern learning facilities and spacious outdoor play/sports areas Classrooms within the school can be opened up to allow easy flow to outdoor lessons and activities SOUTH GLOUCESTERSHIRE COUNCIL DB3 SCHOOL ARCHITECTURE St Peter’s Primary School DB3 designed this exemplar single form entry primary school on a rural site for South Gloucestershire Council The new school includes a number of community spaces and has imaginative external areas, developed with the staff and pupils to include vegetable plots, a turf amphitheatre, a wetland and pond area with viewing deck, a nature trail, raised planting beds, a greenhouse, den making and forest skills areas, and a two person slide to get from the raised deck area down to the playground The building also has an array of eco-friendly features including a biomass boiler, a sedum roof, timber frame, high levels of insulation, daylight and was environmentally modelled to make the best use of passive solar gains whilst avoiding glare Pupils, staff and parents had been shown around in the weeks before the handover and couldn’t wait to get into the new school and use it for the first time Keith Tinline-Purvis, Headteacher, said: “There was an air of excitement as the children arrived for school.” BATH & NORTH EAST SOMERSET COUNCIL DB3 SCHOOL ARCHITECTURE Threeways SEN School DB3 acted as Architect on behalf of Robertson Construction to deliver this £11m new steel framed primary school that brought together three existing special schools onto one site on the northern edge of Bath The completed building has collected several awards and was the first in the UK to feature a digital media multi-sensory theatre The school accommodates 310 pupils and classrooms can be opened up to allow easy flow to outdoor lessons and activities The building provides modern learning facilities and spacious outdoor play/sports areas The acoustic performance and naturally lit and ventilated environment has had a positive impact on the behaviour and concentration of pupils GWYNEDD COUNCIL DB3 SCHOOL ARCHITECTURE Hafod Lon SEN School The Hafod Lon Special School for Gwynedd Council at Penrhyndeudraeth, was formally opened by Welsh Government Minister, Alun Davies on Friday 20th January 2017 The complex includes an SEN school for pupils aged 3-19 with hydrotherapy facilities, therapy rooms and a separate respite accommodation block The school is designed on a split level with primary school pupils and secondary aged pupils accommodated on separate floors DB3 acted as Architect for the project, which was constructed under a traditional contract and is located on the Parc Eryri Business Park The buildings are constructed to a BREEAM “Excellent” rating and to an EPC “A” rating WILTSHIRE COUNCIL DB3 SCHOOL ARCHITECTURE Corsham Primary School DB3 was appointed by Wiltshire Council in the summer of 2017 to develop a feasibility study to extend the current school from the current 1FE of 210 pupils to 1.5 FE of 315 pupils, then to 2.0 FE with a capacity of 420 pupils series of pop-up’s through a flat roof, each pop-up defines the teaching area within the classroom with its primary use of providing north-light and ventilation This to achieve our end goal of “light and air” The approach taken was to ensure options exist for getting as much natural light into the corridor and classrooms This was done by utilising north-light and adopting a building section that also allows a natural cross flow of ventilation; all of which is controlled by manual means In our studies we have anticipated a Creating blocks of class spaces, and when viewed in context with the tree scape - in particular if viewed from afar i.e from the road - breaks the mass down into usable chunks Newcastle City Council DB3 SCHOOL ARCHITECTURE Sir Charles Parsons Sir Charles Parsons Science College is one of schools that DB3 has designed as part of the Newcastle Building Schools for the Future programme to showcase student achievements, celebrate success, be a meeting place, a place to sit and talk and move on to somewhere else It is first and foremost a school, and its role is to provide a broad, stimulating and demanding learning experience for the students that stretches them and supports them in reaching their potential The specialist needs of students whether PMLD or SLD should be provided adjacent or within the learning areas wherever possible Therapy is seen as an integral part of the curriculum and learning environment The objectives of the design were to create adaptable space that was able to respond flexibly to meet the needs of all students and support the provision of personalised learning, logical in design and have a ‘heart’ that unifies the school, The school was rated as BREEAM Excellent This was a significant challenge as the pupils all arrived in taxis so transport points were not possible to attain This was offset by use of a biomas boiler adjacent to the building GLOUCESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL DB3 SCHOOL ARCHITECTURE Archway School DB3 was commissioned to carry out a number of feasibility studies to advise the school on the most appropriate way to spend a sum of money allocated to it by the County Council Archway School was constructed over years and phases During this period the school had to remain operational Phase involved enabling works which provided new car parking to the entrance and re-surfacing existing sports hard play areas Phase saw the construction of the dedicated technology block This was
