2 School Classroom Introduction Newton Abbott When considering the Carbon Footprint of your building, wood is both environmentally friendly, energy efficient and performs better than "traditional build" structures. Wood is a natural material that is beautiful and tactile and is therefore the first choice for all seasons. Its insulation qualities ensure that heating and air conditioning cost are kept to a minimum which makes them ideal for many types of school buildings. New Forest Log designers can consult with architects in the early phases and manage your manufacture and installation. We have built all the following buildings for schools; ICT and language labs, science facilities, computer rooms, dining halls, kitchens, offices, classrooms and a sports pavilions, all with a contemporary style and meeting the demands of the modern school environment. Constructing a Day Nursery, Classroom, Staff Room, Canteen or additional teaching places using solid logs means that you do not need to compromise on space or child safety as all glass used to create light and well ventilated log buildings in windows and doors are toughened and the structures are built to meet the latest low energy consumption regulations with ability friendly access. Newton Abbott Log Buildings for Education Ordering your new Log Building or Classroom from New Forest Log Cabins ticks all the environmental boxes with construct time to a matter of weeks, instead of months with a traditional build method. Our Log Buildings have been thoroughly tested by a number of schools over the years and have proven thermal benefits, fire safety, air-tight, energy efficient and durability tested by many County Councils and Head Teachers alike. New Forest Log Cabins have been independently certified and in all cases have exceeded the minimum U-values which can be proven to save Schools between 30 to 40% on heating, cooling and lighting.

3 Why are log Classrooms so popular...? Rosebank It s comforting to know that New Forest Log Cabins are building Log Classrooms, Canteen Facilities, Sports Pavilions and Temporary Log Buildings that meet Ofsted and Building Control requirements, and what s more, they are extremely Energy Efficient and are fantastic places for children to learn. Feedback that Head Teachers and Teaching Staff have given us is that the learning environment created by our Log Classrooms increases children s awareness and they are able to focus better on learning and that this is due the calm feel and ambiance created within the our Log Building. This also goes for teachers as well since the open vaulted ceilings and natural feeling of wood is a great place for teachers to enjoy working in and the children learn in an environment which they consider to be a great place to go to school. So those are just a couple of plus points as to why you should consider a Log Building from New Forest Log Cabins as an alternative to conventional brick or temporary outdated buildings. But that s not all, the big benefit is that they cost 30% less to build than a conventional classroom, cost 30% less to heat and are extremely Eco Friendly with the wood coming from sustainable sources which all helps to keep the Carbon Footprint as low as possible.

However, for many this isn't the case and with funding cuts many schools are not yet in a position to offer such facilities, however, New Forest Log Cabins have come up with a cost effective solution to the problem that not only provided an Eco friendly place to learn, but offers the school an economic alternative to providing School Classrooms. John Rudd of New Forest Log Cabins explains: "More and more Schools are looking for help to find an alternative to brick built or the Portable cabin style of building as a way of creating more space, however, many of these were only ever designed as temporary buildings and needed to be replaced. Log Classrooms are now becoming a more attractive alternative and it's not just because of the associated cost to build or running costs, but also because of their Durability and long life expectancy. We have developed a range of high quality solid log Eco Classrooms which can be used to provide a secure and versatile teaching place from sustainable materials which are both environmentally friendly with very low carbon content at a cost that represents excellent value for money." Somers Park Primary More Local Authorities are coming to recognise that innovative techniques, including Off-Site Construction may be needed to deliver this programme.

5 Modular buildings... As well as using modular buildings for temporary use, many existing schools are enjoying the benefits of modular construction for providing additional permanent school buildings that they need. By specifying Off-Site Construction, they can minimise disruption on site and the health and safety risks associated with long term building projects in school grounds. Many of our projects are carried out with no disruption to the day to day running of the school with restricted site access conducted at the beginning and end of the working day with safety for all our number one priority. Our Modular Log Buildings are being successfully used for: Lovelace Classrooms Changing Facilities Canteens Offices and Crèches Nurseries Sports Pavilions ICT Suites Early Learning Centre Day-Care Centres Kitchens First Schools Music Rooms Modular construction used to be only considered for temporary classrooms, but it can be used equally effectively to provide high quality permanent classrooms and other educational facilities. Temporary classrooms are still available for emergency and short term use, such as if a number of classrooms where out of use, either for an emergency, like a fire or if the school was having some building work done then a temporary building would be ideal. When considering the Carbon Footprint of your building, constructing from wood as compared to "traditional build" structure is both environmentally friendly and extremely energy efficient. Nell Bank Wood is a natural material and is therefore close to people's hearts and is the first choice for all seasons.
