We have agreed the Brief!

Following our Project Team Meeting on Friday 14th May we have agreed and 'signed off' our Brief for the school before we start to work up our initial concept designs.

The Brief has been developed following the first 'Briefmaking' Workshop where we agreed an initial headline brief for the new School. We have then challenged and developed this as we have carried out the School Visits, BREEAM Workshop, Whole Life Value Workshop, Stakeholder Workshop and Pupil Workshops.

We have prioritised the brief into three categories, 'Primary Design Drivers' that form the essential ethos for the design of the school and that are seen as 'Project Critical', 'Secondary Design Drivers' that are all important and integral to the design of the new school and finally 'Nice to haves' which we all would like to see included within the final scheme, but that may need to be reconsidered depending on budget and spatial issues.

Aled and I are both excited now, as we are entering the early conceptual design stage where we can start to put pen to paper and come up with some initial thoughts and ideas as to how the school might look, work and feel!
