"The development of a unused courtyard area has provided an improved learning environment and experience for both the pupils and staff at Neroche primary school. Segregating the circulation space from the learning space has provided a clear transition for pupils entering their classrooms ensuring distractions are kept to a minimum and maximizing their learning potential. The project has also provided a space for pupils to relax, read books and undertake extracurricular activities."

About the Project

Coreus took the project from feasibility through to construction and handover. The project was developed from an initial requirement to utilise an unused courtyard area and maximise the footprint of the existing site, to provide improved educational facilities within the school.

During the feasibility study, the external courtyard area was proposed to be turned into a library and breakout space for students providing a designated corridor to introduce a separate learning environment from the circulation areas.

After completing the tender process and analysis the successful contractor was appointed.

Throughout the project, Coreus worked in close collaboration with the contractor and key stakeholders, allowing the budget to be maximised with numerous additional works included in the project.

During the construction phase of the project, we were able to safely show pupils around a live construction site introducing them to varying roles within the project whilst answering inquisitive questions from the pupils.

The initial design was required to meet a specific brief and be within a pre-set budget, Coreus were able to deliver the project on time and under budget!

Project Highlights:

  • Providing a space which is to be utilised for generations to come
  • Showing pupils around a live construction site whilst answering some really good questions. Allowing Coreus to provide a different insight into the construction industry.
