Our offering

Pembs Steel Buildings has launched a new tailor-made classroom building, designed specifically for primary and secondary schools. This new classroom design will provide schools with inspiring, pleasant learning environments. Our new designs will help schools ease the limitations on time and budget that schools and LEAs frequently experience. We provide permanent-quality buildings for short-term needs, with the flexibility to move internal walls.

Design quality has been defined as a combination of:

• Functionality
• Sustainability
• Buildability
• Efficiency
•  Aesthetics
•  Durability
  

All of these are key to achieving better value for money for everyone concerned.

Flexibility in our designs

We recognise that these new classroom buildings offer an inspiring, multi-functional environment that has been developed after an in-depth analysis of the education sector. Schools have identified the need for a bespoke, quality classroom building that can be up and running in a very short space of time – often during school holidays.

In addition to the record capital investment stimulating an increase in building work in schools, the classrooms are often needed short-term, in response to changing school populations and the Government's initiative of fewer than 30 pupils per class.

This new classroom building meets all permanent building regulations and has been designed in consultation with DfES Building Bulletin 95. The building incorporates two classrooms and a large cloakroom. The classrooms are 64m² in area and each can comfortably accommodate classes of 30 pupils in bright, modern, and well-equipped surroundings.

The tailor-made accommodation has also been designed to provide specialist teaching resources with high levels of natural light, good ventilation and excellent energy efficiency.

Helping schools meet challenges.

Pembs Steel building recognises the problems facing schools - By the end of 2001, Head teachers had allowed budget surpluses to accumulate to more than £1 billion¹ because of the difficulties and complications of procuring quality classroom accommodation.

At Pembs steel Building we are keen to work with LEAs and schools and can provide a consultancy service that can help them plan for any refurbishment, new build programme or fluctuation in pupils numbers.

Pembs steel Buildings has also designed the new classroom building to incorporate the latest thinking in the recent White Paper – Achieving Success. This stated that any new school refurbishment programme would have to promote good design, minimise the environmental impact and work to achieve targets of Rethinking Construction such as reduced wastage, improved delivery time and better value for money. We recognize that Schools of the future must be designed to avoid wasted investment through early and rapid obsolescence.

They need to have a long functional life, demonstrating good value for money in terms of life-cycle costs he pre-designed and engineered classrooms and our personalised service fully satisfy the requirements demanded by the national curriculum and the requirements stated in the Achieving Success white paper. Our tailor-made classrooms are available to schools and colleges throughout the UK .
