Separate access to the sports fields were provided to facilitate the use of the changing rooms for both home and away teams as well as staff. A new sub main was installed with capacity for a future grounds staff block. Access to the switch gear and plant room is obtained externally to maintain privacy to the buildings occupants. The multi function hall has been provided with automatic dimming of the luminaires to control the lighting levels, via sensors, to utilise natural daylight and reduce energy consumption. |  Key Facts Client: The School of St Helen & St Katherine Architect: Oxford Architects QS: Sworn King & Partners Construction Consultants: Northcroft Value: £105,000 Start date: November 2004 Completion date: April 2005 |
