Schools
We work closely with Scottish Local Authorities, as well as the Scottish Government to deliver transformative learning environments for schools. We have contributed to the delivery of over 10 Passivhaus schools across Scotland, aligning with the Low Emissions Infrastructure Programme (LEIP), and have partnered with the Scottish Futures Trust to author LEIP3 school metrics.
Our experience spans across schools providing education for all age groups from Primary to Secondary, including a variety of additional special needs facilities.
We help our clients evolve their assets to better support teaching and learning, applying our experience, commercial and technical skills to deliver efficient and cost-effective facilities and solutions, whilst providing the pupils with enhanced learning environments bespoke to their needs.
Colleges
We have significant experience of both design and delivery of further education schemes at varying scales: from estate strategies to new build projects. We work to embed adaptability, innovation and diversification into the day-to-day operation of colleges.
We understand that every college has its own requirements, challenges and aspirations and at the outset we are committed to explore the best approach and find the ‘best fit’, delivering agile and flexible learning environments that evolve with the curriculum.
We are currently commissioned by the Scottish Funding Council to deliver baseline data collection for all colleges as part of their College Infrastructure Strategy, bringing best practice and digital innovation as a springboard for future development.
Universities
In Scotland, we have a strong footprint across 12 universities, including the University of Edinburgh, University of Glasgow, University of Stirling, and University of St. Andrews. We are also at the forefront of decarbonisation initiatives, such as the King's Buildings Net-Zero Study for the University of Edinburgh, and the development of a feasibility study for a new heat delivery network for the University of Strathclyde’s Climate Neutral Innovation District.
Through our Research and Innovation team, we bring unparalleled experience in space analysis and digital innovation, creating visualisers for our university clients which bring their information to life.
Our approach is to analyse each project from the viewpoint of the users, using data driven solutions to truly understand the nature of the challenge and the emerging solutions. Our expertise covers every aspect from estate strategy, decarbonisation, new build to major and minor refurbishment of facilities including Science, Research and Innovation, Libraries, Heart of the Campus facilities and Student Living.
