Focus is on the extraordinary project of foss barrier. With so much attention given to consumer demand for glass and glazed products, it’s easy to forget the volumes used in commercial projects. Long associated with high-rise architecture, glass skyscrapers have taken over the world in the past seventy or so years. While the energy efficiency and environmental impact of building with glass on such a scale has come into question in recent years, there is still a requirement for glazing in commercial development. This is most notable in conservation projects.
Work is now complete on a £4.4 million expansion of Kingswood Academy in Hull, following an increase in demand for places.
The new Russell Building comprises 12 new classrooms; two offices; a new dining area and servery, including indoor and outdoor seating; toilets; and plant rooms. A further 72 parking spaces have also been created. It has enabled the academy to create a further 150 places for students.
