Bolder Academy

Rated BREEAM ‘Excellent’ environmental and sustainability considerations were factored into the design and build programme including an attenuation tank, large swales and water permeable paving to aid in future water run-off.

Awarded through the Department for Education’s National Framework, Bolder Academy is a non-denominational, mixed secondary school in the London Borough of Hounslow.

The project involved the construction of a four-storey secondary school with a separate sports hall, incorporating dance and drama studios, new external grassed pitches - all finished to Sports England standards, a MUGA pitch, staff car parking, cycle storage, external classroom, courtyard open space and general circulation spaces.

Specific innovations at Bolder Academy achieved ‘Excellent’ BREEAM ratings. Environmental and sustainability considerations were factored into the design and build programme including an attenuation tank, large swales and water permeable paving to aid in future water run-off.

Solar panels and a full BMS have been installed to aid energy efficiency.
