Case Study
Salutem Care & Education SEN Classroom
Client Brief
We were approached by Salutem Care and Education, Who required SEN (Special Education Needs) Classrooms at their Ingfield Manor School site in West Sussex in time for the Autumn Term 2024. The school needed the modular classroom building’s to help with the growing demand for SEN childcare placements in West Sussex.
The Results
At PF Modular we designed the Modular SEN Classrooms using area guidance BB104 for SEND and
alternative provision. Ingfield Manor School is set within stunning woodland setting, with
this in mind, we opted for Western Red Cedar for the external. The construction delivery program was extremely short, however we delivered the building and completed all works on program and budget to the clients satisfaction.
Challenges We Faced
Due to the location of the school site, we had some logistical challenges to overcome. The main one being some very old oak trees within the school grounds. We decided to use step-frame trailers to deliver the modules, enabling the modules to pass under the low branches of the oak trees.
To achieve the BB104 acoustic guidance for the breakout rooms and classrooms, we increased the dB (decibel rating) of the internal partition doors and windows. We also installed an acoustic suspended ceiling to reduce acoustic reverberation within the classrooms.
