Greater Peterborough UTC
The Greater Peterborough University Technical College will provide a new education concept for 14-19 year olds.
The new Technical College aims to address the current employment shortfall that frustrates the growth ambitions of many regional engineering and renewables sector businesses.
Site constraints and required accommodation have led to a compact building strategy arranged over threefloors. The scheme uses a combination of Cross laminated Timber (CLT) and Steel to meet the very tight design and construction programme.
The essence of the Construction Engineering involved in the building’s realisation has been showcased within the building for all to see. A simple palette of materials reflects the aspiration of the college whilst not taking theappearance of a typical educational establishment.
