WaterSHED Success
We are extremely excited to announce the completion of the WaterSHED project at Wardle Academy. The new learning environment is nothing short of extraordinary and we would like to thank everyone who has made this possible. The transformation from an old sports hall into a modern, engaging environment is amazing.
“Staff and learners are delighted with the wonderful new space created through the ingenuity of BDP. Light and calming, the WaterSHED is also a great learning resource in itself, as an embodiment of careful thinking about sustainability. The design gives value everyday and on many many levels to the community of the school.”
Mark Moorhouse CEO Watergrove Trust
The existing sports hall structure has been retained and improved upon with the use of natural materials including locally sourced sheep’s wool insulation.
Low-energy lighting, heating and ventilation systems have been installed to improve thermal comfort and reduce operating costs.
Using low-carbon construction processes to create the WaterSHED meant students, apprentices and other locals could all get involved in the project, creating a landmark building for the community.
