‘Award winning Innovative Off-site designs that shatter all perceptions’
It is now widely accepted within the
industry that off-site construction
can provide high quality, fast and
disruption free buildings but can
they provide eye catching innovative
designs or is this still an area of
compromise?
Rachel Davis, Business Development
Director, said ‘With Premier
Modular the answer is NO, we never
compromise.
New Islington, Manchester formerly
The Cardroom Estate was considered
one of the worst places to live in
Manchester. It was therefore identified
as one of the English Partnership’s
‘Millennium Communities’ to be
rejuvenated and regenerated. The aim
was to create the best place to live and
work in Manchester, the Masterplan
of the site was to link the existing
Victorian canals with a new canal to
form a focal point, adding inspiring
and innovative architecture would be
the key to creating a sense of place.
Premier Modular Ltd working as a
specialist subcontractor to Conlon
Construction have just completed New
Islington Free School in Manchester.
This will be a new home for 420
children and is due to open for the
September term 2016.
Premier worked with their architectural
partners Vaughan Architecture &
Design to create this visually stunning
building with a feature entrance
incorporating an oversailing roof,
picture windows, a lightwell running
the full length of the building and
a modern external cladding finish.
The building also includes a roof-top
teaching space and an external play
area linked to the building. Sustainable
and wildlife features were also
included such as PV panels, bird and
bat boxes and a Redstart habitat on
the roof.
The School values are Creative,
Innovative & Unique. These fit well
with Premier’s own values and have
certainly been captured in the new
school building.
Rachel Davis, Business Development
Director at Premier Modular said ‘The
client is at the centre of everything
we do and we take great pride in
pushing the limits of modular design.
We are proud to have been involved
in winning student accommodation
building ‘The Foundry’ in Newcastle.
Working with Sir Robert McAlpine
we provided a 5 storey, 206 bedroom
block which won ‘Project of the Year
Up to £10m’ at the Construction News
Awards.
So at a time where an increased rate of
build is required, budgets have been
cut and there is a squeeze on available
space, Premier Modular has once again
firmly proved that design doesn’t have
to take a back seat.
