Education - Refurbishment
The following are examples of projects we have recently completed
The Royal College of Music
Kensington, London
RBC have been appointed by John Simpson Architects to provide full Building Control services for the prestigious commission to redesign the Royal College of Music in South Kensington. The project is valued at £25 million and will transform the Grade II Listed Building. The project involves basement, sub-basement, lower ground, first and second floor extensions in a former courtyard that links part of the Royal College of Music together and form a new museum, bar, cafes, two new theatres and practice rooms. The effects on the existing fire compartmentation and means of escape needed careful consideration and justification and RBC have worked closely with the Architects, JSA, and the fire engineer to achieve this.
Allestree Woodlands School
Derby
Bowmer and Kirkland worked with RBC on this major redevelopment of an existing secondary school. Works included a three storey extension to the existing main building and a new two storey teaching block to create a modern and flexible teaching environment for over 1300 pupils.
University of Reading Library
Reading
RBC were appointed to provide full building control services and fire strategy advice on the £40 million refurbishment of University of Reading Library, this includes remodelling of floors, moving lifts, new stairs, total re-cladding, new services, café extensions and an increase in floor area/capacity and making the existing fire exit staircases work for the increased capacity. The aim is to modernise and increase the capacity of an original 1964 built building whilst keeping it open to students so phased in execution.
