Project overview
Our Coventry Design Centre supplied design expertise and a range of our engineered timber products to create a purpose-built special needs school building in Okehampton, Devon. The new building was created to provide an opportunity for children in the local area to attend a modernised special needs school.
All pupils who attend The Promise School have specific Education and Health Care Plans (EHCPS) with primary social, emotional and mental health needs. The Promise School delivers support and encouragement to help develop the skills of all its pupils.
The project was a significant build, with a roof made up of 1,875m3 and 1,255m3 of floor cassettes, and 20-meter Roof Trusses for the main roof. With such an expansive roof and large number of materials required, the deliveries of the products spanned over three months, with the correct products brought to site as and when they were needed.
Matthew Naughton, Delivery Manager at Innovaré Systems Limited said; “We’re very happy with the delivery efficiency from the Pasquill team. The manufacturing team kept us up to date with the delivery schedule and discussed the requirements we had on site. This was a great project to work on with them.”
“The team took special care to design each Posi Joist before drawing them into individual cassettes to be manufactured. We’re delighted with the final result and are thankful to Innovaré Offsite for approaching us to work on this project.”
