The use of long-span glulam beams and timber construction provided the strength and flexibility needed for large, open spaces while maintaining a lightweight structure. Prefabrication of timber components allowed for rapid on-site assembly, enabling the project to be completed within a small timeframe over the summer holidays. This approach ensured minimal disruption to school operations while delivering a durable and sustainable building that supports modern educational needs.
