COLLEGE REFURBISHMENT

ABW carried out major alterations to the 1980’s teaching building, which suffered from poor environmental performance and lack of identity, despite its prominent location in the town centre. The work was designed and programmed to be carried out with minimal disruption to teaching.

The scope included new windows to replace poorly performing original windows, as well as thermal upgrades to the building’s envelope. Another significant intervention included increasing the amount of glazing to key areas to take advantage of long distance views over Morecambe Bay, particularly from the top floor restaurant.

The addition of colour to the facade gives the building a new identity as well as providing a notable landmark for students, staff, and visitors to gravitate towards.
