THE ROSE BUILDING, RALPH ALLEN SCHOOL, BATH FBLDEN FOWLES

摘要

The -£1.32 million teaching block, replaces 10 demountable classrooms as part of an Education Funding Agency priority maintenance grant. The project is proof that, even in austere times, good-quality design doesn't need to be squeezed out of state education projects. The building is a two-storey linear block, which emulates the rationality of the school's Lee building. Constructed from cross-laminated timber and steel, it is extremely efficient structurally. The northern elevation facing onto the courtyard, is lined with tanalised Douglas fir, which will maintain its rich colour.
