Education must be our future — and this must be the future of education. The contractor delivered on Grafton Architects vision, understanding the importance of ensuring the quality of the finish across all aspects of the building met the highest expectations. Exposed concrete runs throughout the entirety of the building and there are no surface fixings meaning it is open to close scrutiny.

Perfection was paramount - there was no room for blemishes or air pockets, which would have impacted on the sleek finish. This was one reason behind using precast concrete rather than cast in situ reinforced concrete. Due to its bespoke nature, the construction was extremely complex so great care had to be taken to ensure the lines of communication were open with our supply chain at all times.

Design excellence This is the first building in the UK for Grafton and in a nod to its surroundings, it includes a traditional hand-laid full brick finish to panels across the exterior elevations and sections of reconstituted stone, carefully chosen to reflect the Portland stone of Surrey County Hall across the road. From the outset we knew that the exposed concrete frame would be a key feature of this landmark building. Our challenge was to deliver a sleek, consistent and quality finish that would also hide all the building services from public view.

The decision was made to switch from an in-situ concrete solution to a pre-cast, manufactured off site solution. This would ensure a quality finish could be achieved off-site and easily assembled on atight site constrained by residential properties and the live main campus building.

The pre-cast element was also a neat solution for the concealment of essential building services that were necessary to provide the electrical and cooling services for the entire building.
