Two storey teaching block in East London 

A new two storey building linked to the existing school by a single storey glazed structure, provides eight new classrooms arranged over both floors with kitchen and dining space on the ground floor. Supporting facilities including an accessible WC and office/meeting room will allow community use during and after school hours. Externally the colourful, profiled metal cladding and saw-toothed roof shape stand out from the existing school buildings and the woodland area to the southeast of the site provides a natural habitat teaching space and increases the biodiversity in the school grounds. G-frame were responsible for the design, supply and installation of the CLT and glulam structure
