St John Fisher Catholic High School, Peterborough
This £13 million redevelopment project features a number of sustainable building techniques.
Two buildings have been constructed from cross-laminated timber panels, resulting in dramatic reductions in construction timescales and costs. The panels are highly insulated and clad in weather-proof, fire-resistant panelling, brickwork and render. The timber comes from sustainable managed forests. Other sustainable features include ground source heat pumps, solar hot water collectors mounted on the south facing roofs and a wind turbine located at the front of the school.
The project won the top 2010 International Green Apple Award for the Built Environment.
