New build at Cotham School
Saturday, July 12th, 2008
Several of us attended a consultation meeting on 8 july where Skanska’s design team explained the plans for a demolition and rebuild of the western bits of Cotham School. The staff and governors have been keen to ensure that the building design ensures that the school is warm in winter, cool in summer, and with minimal fossil fuel energy needs. Investment now will mean a lower carbon footprint, and better affordability in the long term as oil and gas become more scarce and more expensive. There was a disappointing amount of real detail on these matters, but there was the glimmer of a promise that we might be able to see a sustainability report that is ‘in preparation’.
