As part of the refurbishment of the Art, Design and Technology Building, the façades of the Food Studies ‘cube’ have been replaced with a sustainable wood effect, stone panel product to provide fire resilience and low maintenance. The design was meticulously set out and scheduled to optimise panel cutting to provide a random, horizontal layout with tonal colours to provide a warm and natural appearance. The finished result greatly improves the original dated, rendered finish and improves the learning environment for pupils.
