Elmfield is located with Upper Horfield Community School and will provide modern facilities for deaf children, as well as the opportunity to integrate their education with a mainstream primary school.
The team will carry out demolition work before constructing a two-storey extension, as well as refurbishing the existing building and creating an outdoor play space for the school.
Charlie Norris, Operations Director, explained: “This scheme will improve the current facilities and give children an excellent space to learn. Work will include specialist acoustic facilities, sensory, nature and life skills rooms, alongside other teaching spaces.
“We will also be making improvements to the existing neighbouring primary school so children with special educational needs can learn together with mainstream pupils.”
The new, flexible, future-proofed building is designed to be a comfortable ‘deaf space’ not only for children and their families, but also for the deaf and local community, providing spaces for parents and professionals to meet, learn and train.
Fire Immunity ltds involvement within this project has been to install multiple 30 minute fire rated cavity barriers within existing and new roof spaces/loft in multiple locations as specified.
