The brief
The South Yorkshire County Scout Association required a new building to provide modern training facilities for delegates from across the county and indeed worldwide. The building had to compliment the extensive existing site buildings together with the ancient woodland setting.
The concept
The new Educational building was approximately 9.6m wide x 12m long to be constructed in 4 modules prefabricated at the Wintech fabrication facility. The plan layout of the building included a main open plan room, a kitchenette, a small store room and toilets. A ramp suitable for disabled access was also a requirement. External timber cladding was requested to compliment the existing buildings and the woodland setting.
The results
The new building, nestled in to the woodland setting, provides a modern, insulated and air conditioned training facility that is universally accessible.
