1 Deepings School, Market Deeping Project: Two storey conference and lecture facility Value: 1.4m Client: Mouchel Sector: Education Completed: 2011 Waldeck were appointed to undertake civil and structural engineering duties on the construction of a new two storey conference and lecture facility to accommodate 1,425 students at the Deepings School in Market Deeping who received Ofsted outstanding in The building is the new image and face of the Deepings School which has taken Academy status and accommodates new classrooms and reception, business/ conference facilities. The building is a 750m² steel frame construction with concrete floor planks, a solid concrete ground floor and single ply membrane roof. External works involved a new car parking, site entrance, foul and surface drainage work and landscaping. The use of a lightweight timber façade secondary support structure allowed the very detailed façade finishes to be positioned accurately.

2 IMH - Nottingham University Nottingham Project: Institute of Mental Health Value: 7m Client: University of Nottingham Sector: Healthcare / Education Completed: 2012 The four storey building on the University of Nottingham s Jubilee Campus incorporates a mixture of office and teaching space, bringing IMH staff groups together. Waldeck were responsible for the design and detailing of the civil and structural engineering element of the scheme which included the steel framework, foundations, drainage and rainwater attenuation systems. Director Andrew Dent added The project has given us one or two challenges, owing to the high levels of glazing and the use of SIPS panels to the building elevations and in designing the razor-edged roof profile he explained This will certainly be a visually striking building. Richard Wigginton, Capital Projects Officer of the University of Nottingham said We are pleased to be working with Waldeck and Benoy on this very exciting project. The state of the art facility incorporates a ThermoDeck flooring system which uses the thermal storage capacity of the building s structural mass to regulate the internal temperatures, the building has been designed to achieve a BREEAM Excellence rating.

3 Stamford Endowed School, Lincolnshire Project: Swimming pool and gymnasium Value: 6m Client: GSS Architects Sector: Education / Sports & Leisure Completed: 2012 Waldeck were appointed to provide Civil and Structural engineering duties on the new sports facilities to be constructed as part of the site infrastructure development programme the new sport facilities include a 25 metre six lane swimming pool with dedicated spectator seating, a gymnasium fitness suite, changing facilities, office space, teaching rooms and a medical centre. The new facility is positioned adjacent to the sports pitches and the south first floor terrace providing a prime view of them. The scope of the Waldeck duties included the design and detailing of structures, external works foul and surface water drainage, concrete retaining wall, and superstructure steelwork, masonry and timber. The structural steel frame was modelled, analysed and designed using state of the art on Bentley RAM Structural analysis suite ensuring that an economic solution to this complex structure was achieved.

4 Oxford Brookes University, Oxford Project: Marston Road Halls Value: 17m Client: GSS Architects Sector: Education / Residential Completed: 2010 Construction was completed in December 2010 on the third phase of the student residences located on the Marston Road site for Oxford Brookes University. The development included a quadrangle of three and four storey pavilions arranged around a pond and a communal meeting area. The project, which had a construction value of 17m, will provide a total of 358 study rooms for both post-graduates and undergraduates. Waldeck provided civil and structural engineering design services for the project which included many sustainable design features including a green sedum roof and the feature attenuated surface water drainage system. Waldeck are one of a handful of engineers accredited to the Green Register and have award winning credentials. The innovative sustainable drainage solution required as part of the surface water design to the development was incorporated into the Architectural design of the quadrangle providing a water feature adjacent to public and community space. Design assessment for the traditional superstructure to the development included the whole structure interaction not structural elements in isolation which resulted in a economic design with associated financial benefits for the client.

5 Monks Building, Lincoln Project: Lincoln College works Value: 3m Client: Lincoln College Sector: Education Completed: 2014 Waldeck were appointed by Lincoln college to take on a multitude of work, including: an additional second floor on an existing building, a new entrance atrium (following on from Waldeck s involvement in the creation of an entrance atrium for fellow education sector clients, Stamford Endowed Schools), whilst also providing a refurbishment of existing accommodation. The project itself is due to be complete in the Summer of 2014, ready for the College s influx of new and returning students in the Autumn. With Waldeck s intimate knowledge of the education sector, they were the obvious choice for taking on a project of this nature, size and value. Waldeck displayed their innovation by proving that the existing foundations were capable of carrying the additional load, as a result, this saved the client from having to spend s on new foundations.

6 Abington High School, Leicestershire Project: Sports hall fit out Value: 0.4m Client: GSS Architecture Sector: Education Completed: 2011 This project was a fit out of an existing tired sports hall with a new mezzanine floor, a life skills room, an activity space, a classroom and offices at ground floor. It is a socially important project as it is to be used for children aged between 10 and 19 with Special Educational Needs (SEN) and could also potentially be used for public use. Waldeck devised a way of integrating the mezzanine into the existing structure, without any excessive influence onto the existing foundations. This meant both time and expenditure savings on requirements usually necessary, such as underpinning or additional deep foundations, which you would normally associate when building alongside existing structures. Waldeck worked alongside GSS Architecture, GSS were professional, and protected the schools interests from start to completion and it was a pleasure to work with them, Andrew Dent, Director for Waldeck commented Space and especially headroom were an issue during this project but by using a Simple Construction steel frame, it meant that we were able to get the most flexibility from the space available

7 Morrell Student Halls, Oxford Project: Oxford Brookes University accomodation Value: 8m Client: GSS Architecture Sector: Education / Residential Completed: 2009 The Morrell Student Halls of Residence comprises of a total of 10 blocks of student accommodation divided into flats and communal living facilities for 554 students at Oxford Brookes University. Originally built in the 1970 s the first phase of the re-development of the site included the demolition of 2 of the original blocks and its replacement with two new state of the art residences providing a total of 160 study bedrooms for both post graduates and under graduates. Waldeck provided civil and structural engineering design services on the 8m project. The sloping site had complex geotechnical issues including a ground water springs. This, combined with environmental aspects of the site and the original piled substructures which were to remain, dictated that detailed study of the exact location of the new piled foundations and ground beams was required. The superstructures to the development included traditional load bearing elements designed to compliment the existing student residences surrounding the new halls. The innovative foundation solution was developed to challenge the complex geotechnical issues on the site (including a natural ground spring), together with considering the sequencing of the new works and the substructures of the original development. The phasing of the works was a major consideration in the development of the design philosophy for the sub-structures and Sustainable drainage to minimise risk to existing structures but also minimize cost and programme risk to the builders.

8 North Lindsey College, Scunthorpe Project: State of the art learning facility Value: 2.5m Client: North Lindsey College Sector: Education Completed: 2011 Waldeck worked alongside John Roberts Architects and Lindum Construction to build a brand new state of the art learning facility, as part of phase one of the development, housing the painting and decorating, foundation learning and a success centre New Beacon House for learners with disabilities and learning difficulties. The two storey building comprises of a steel frame structure, with concrete ground and concrete composite first floor. The building is constructed from facing brick work to the ground floor and metal cladding panels to the upper storey with sheet metal roofing panels. Phase two of the project saw the remodelling and conversion of the Butler Building from its existing motor vehicle workshop to form a new art, design and drama studio. Waldeck were also involved in the design of the new entrance and reception area comprising of a steel frame structure with masonry cladding and full height feature glazing to the college. The project was initially going to be a steel portal frame structure but by saving on the steel works and designing a metal decked composite first floor and braced structural frame utilising portal action above first floor only it came in under budget.
