Amended Master Plan

This amended master plan shows the full scheme as desired by Oakwood Primary School, this includeds a 2 form entry school and a child care centre. However there is presently no funding available for the childcare centre and 3 classrooms will not be built in the first phase.

Sustainability Strategy

It is important to preserve the environment in which we live in. ADP and Gloucester County Council are committed to reducing our environmental impact. The new Oakwood School will incorporate many features that will reduce its impact on the environment, such as:-

• Natural Ventilation
• Natural Day Lighting
• Rainwater Harvesting
• Biomass Boiler
• Thermal Mass

The diagram below show how these features have been introduced into the design.

At present the scheme is scoring a BREEAM excellent Rating.

3D Visual Development

Stripey Buildings

Draft 3D Visuals

These are our fist visuals exploring what the school may look like. It is still a work in progress but you can see how we are playing with the form of classrooms, the central block and how we are trying to create covered areas. We are also trying to introduce as much colour as possible to provide a stimulating learning environment.

School Plan

Updated school plan with the halls in the centre of the school.

Design Development - Moving the Hall

After a further design review we have decided to move the main halls from the end of the school into the centre. The reasons for moving the halls are as follows-

• Enlarges the central courtyard and allows more room around the willow tree
• Creates a large shared space at the heart of the school
• Allows the halls to open into each other creating a single large hall for special occasion

The new site concept and site zoning.
