2 2013 Moseley School Birmingham 2 The new building has been designed to provide a first class, multipurpose space designed to Sport England standards, which connects all of the existing sporting facilities and vastly expands what the school can offer in terms of delivering the sports curriculum, extra curricular activities, community facilities and performance space. The fun, multicoloured façade represents the School s faculty colours and allows the building to provide a new focal point for the school that will help to inspire both students and the local community to get active.

3 2013 Moseley School Birmingham 3 Transforming a Vision Located in Birmingham, the new sports hall at Moseley School was designed to offer state of the art sports facilities, including four basketball and badminton courts, cricket lanes and a performance area. This building extension, designed by architects Corstorphine & Wright, has been skilfully linked to the main school building, improving security and connectivity features. The inspiration for this fun multi-coloured façade derived from the school colours, which were incorporated into the design process. The new building provides an additional 18, 298sq ft of floor space for pupils to thrive in, and the improved sports facilities promote a healthier and more active lifestyle.

The result was a truly innovative building envelope which offers outstanding performance. Technical Support Kingspan s technical team monitored the installation process vigilantly, and Kingspan engineers were on site to ensure the panels were installed correctly and to a high standard of workmanship.
