Thornhill Primary School
This project expanded Thornhill Primary School from a one-form entry school to a three-form entry school.
It also includes the refurbishment and remodeling of the existing building. We placed sustainability at the forefront of the design to create a healthy learning environment for the children and staff at the school.
Our team chose Passivhaus as the target certification to ensure the new facility’s construction quality, provide significant benefits to the whole life cycle cost, reduce its financial running costs, and improve thermal comfort and indoor air quality. We followed the principles of circular economy within the design, selecting materials for their low embodied carbon, and both materials and buildings were considered for their possible future uses and recyclability.
