Winifred signed off a couple of hours ago and will open tomorrow. Will upload of more pics in the morning.

Bushy_Badger · September 12th, 2011, 02:19 PM

Some pictures over the last few days from Winifred Holtby & Tweendykes.

Back entrance to the school.

Crazy beams on the 2nd floor that kids could easily shimmy and climb across.

Bushy_Badger · September 12th, 2011, 02:28 PM

Crazy beams again, canteen is bottom floor to the left.

Overlooking more seating with indoor trees and at the far end is the Tweendykes canteen and dinner area.

Bushy_Badger · September 12th, 2011, 02:35 PM

Performing Arts studio or Drama as it was called when I went to school.

Winifred sportshall, Tweendykes have their own about a third of the size.

Bushy_Badger · September 12th, 2011, 02:42 PM

Not a great picture of the Car Garage Classroom.

If the pupils are at 'risk' from climbing onto the beams they're also a risk of sitting/standing on the walls surrounding the landings. Whilst you can design risk out of most things sometimes you just have to hope people use their common sense... Although I expect a fair few bags to make the journey from 2nd floor to ground floor canteen in 1 go!

Still looks good though and it's nice to see integration of special needs into the mainstream.

It is not glass, looks like a plastic substance filled with air as it looks like bubble wrap.

The 2 beams in question are a stupid design and they should not strutt out over the walkway on the 2nd floor. They even had to cage in the top stones that were planted in the wooden tree beds as they knew they would end up scattered across the floor.

I have been very impressed with the 2 special schools that have been merged with the new builds (Ganton with Sirius & Tweendykes with Winifred). Their facilities are very good.

Kingswood College taking shape

Kelvin Hall Update

Balfour Beatty handed over the school on Monday and it is no longer a building site. I think there is about 4 weeks to get all the systems up and working before open day. It's another impresive new school, a very open middle core with fantastic balconies and shapes all over.

A reminder of what has been built.

Bushy_Badger · March 9th, 2012, 10:47 PM

School logo and sign in distance.

View of the back, 2nd floor balcony/patio in distance.

From the front, with the old school to the right.

Bushy_Badger · March 9th, 2012, 10:59 PM

Science classroom.

Art Studio 1 with 2 and 3 in the back ground and 4 to the right(behind the wall). All open plan with a internal balcony.

View from balcony in Art Room.

Music Room.

Bushy_Badger · March 9th, 2012, 11:13 PM

Looking through from the 1st floor

Opposite view.

2nd floor looking down.

View from 2nd floor overlooking canteen seating area.

Bushy_Badger · March 9th, 2012, 11:30 PM

It looks like a big staircase but 3/4 is actually seating (from the left) and the small staircase is on the right.

I think a video wall is to be installed to the left of the stairs leading to the 2nd floor, which seems strange as the wooden stair benches are facing the opposite way.

2nd floor leading to outside patio area.

2nd floor patio.

All I can say is looks great ! Love the art deco look of the exterior (pass it everyday on the way to/from work) and have watched this build progress.

Once the old budding have been demolished should really look good.
