PROJECT INITIATION
Thornwood was approached to tender for the turnkey delivery of a new Parent and Student Services. 
(PASS) facility for the college. Embracing the challenge, our team immediately began developing an inspiring concept aimed at enhancing the biodiversity of the existing neglected wildlife area, which would be the pavilion’s new home.

​

CONCEPT AND DESIGN
Our vision was to create a sustainably built and operated facility that offered a tranquil, relaxed, yet profound and inspiring environment for learning. By blending natural Scottish larch with a biodiverse green roof, we infused the pavilion with a bohemian charm while ensuring compliance with the planner’s requirements for a Net Zero CO2 building.

​

PLANNING AND COLLABORATION
Upon winning the project, we collaborated closely with the client’s estate team, council planners, and our trusted consultants. This teamwork enabled us to secure swift planning approval, complete pre-construction activities, and commence building within just five months.

​

CONSTRUCTION AND DELIVERY
Construction began in February 2023 and was completed by September 2023, perfectly timed for the start of the new school term, a crucial deliverable for the project. The development, from conception to planning, construction, and final delivery, was accomplished in under 14 months, marking a significant achievement for our team.

​

SUSTAINABILITY AND INNOVATION
Meeting the goal of a 100% carbon-neutral building required innovative and outside-the-box thinking. Our team dedicated numerous hours to research and development to ensure the pavilion met this critical target. We are proud to announce that the final EPC certificate rated the Pavilion A+, confirming its Net Zero CO2 status.

 

CONCLUSION
Delivering the PASS Pavilion has been a challenging yet immensely rewarding experience for Thornwood. The project stands as a testament to our commitment to sustainable design, collaborative execution, and the creation of inspiring educational spaces. We are honoured by the recognition received and remain dedicated to pushing the boundaries of excellence in our future projects.
