This secondary school has been designed and built according to Passivhaus standards. The building is highly energy efficient and has been designed to accommodate and improve the needs and health of its students. It comprises of flexible teaching spaces, a mature palette of materials, stable temperature, excellent air quality, and natural ventilation.

Embodied carbon modelling tools were used along-side Passivhaus PHPP. The use of timber was included as much as possible, such as though timber cladding, timber frame infill, timber batten ceiling finishes, etc.  In general, materials were chosen to be robust and long-lasting. Concrete was chosen only for critical areas, whereas timber was chosen for health and well-being and sustainability reasons.
