must be in a “healthy” building, in a sound mind and healthy body. Opening this building only a few days ago, it seems that students and teachers appreciate the peacefulness, the brightness and light that prevails. We hope that everyone finds learning to be a cheerful experience and that students keep happy memories of their time in high school. Product Description.This project has a double-structure : the basement of the ground floor is realized in poured- in-place concrete while the two upper 44 - www.refurbandrestore.co.uk floors are made of lamibois structure (pole and floor) and a lamibois frame. This choice of structure correspond with a construction strategy. The wooden structure allows a much faster realization than the masonry. On the facade, the wood is left untreated in order to hold a silver patina for the Douglas wood poles, the Douglas wood claddings, the Larch wood exterior joineries (Larch) and the Oregon pine rolling shutters. The construction work have been carried out by local companies (10 to 20 workers).
