New Modular Buildings From Able Canopies

Modular Build: Coupals Primary, Suffolk

Coupals Primary School in Haverhill, Suffolk has installed a custom designed free standing classroom. The bespoke octagonal building was built in less than ten weeks, with minimal upheaval to the school.

The 182-pupil Coupals Primary School needed the extra accommodation for the increasing numbers of older children at the school where places are expected to rise to 218 as part of the schools organisational review. The new building was conceived as an area where a large number of children could benefit from free space to enjoy music, drama and dance as well as a quiet and peaceful environment to learn. Consequently, the overall design had to be light and airy and ensure adequate provision of acoustic and thermal aesthetic properties.

“I wanted a space for enrichment; one that children of all abilities could use for therapeutic stories, drama, music, assemblies and for teachers to enjoy too.” Says head teacher Charles Hardingham.

The proposed site was right in the middle of the playground and directly in front of the main entrance and exit. It was imperative therefore that construction could take place with as little disruption to the school day as possible and meet obvious health and safety implications. Mr Hardingham also wanted something that reflected a multicultural theme and its provisional sketch resembeled "a nomadic tent with huge cushions".

Panoramic

Modular building supplier, Able Canopies, was able to interpret this idea by designing a space where children could relax and learn at the same time. The finished octagonal building offers panoramic views of the grounds, and is fitted with lighting, electricity, ventilation, temperature and humidity control. The building’s floor area provides over 46sqm of open area for learning.
