New two storey teaching wing
Additional two storey wing which almost doubles the area of Branfil School, creating a bright, spacious environment with generous floor to ceiling heights and internal glazed doors and screens which visually connect internal spaces with external views. G-frame were responsible for the design, supply and installation of the CLT structure. Working with Furness Partnership, G-frame designed the structural support solution which posed a number of design challenges to achieve large open plan double space classrooms whilst supporting the structure. The solution uses the CLT wall structure above to span horizontally and function as a beam which enabled the space planning of the school to be achieved.
