The project involved the construction of a new Design Centre to support the delivery of GCSE Design and Technology and GCSE Computing from September 2022.

A building with a 192 old year­ old heritage will always be interesting to work on, and King’s College was no different, presenting unique Temporary Works challenges throughout the project.

Rubix are proud of their Coventry heritage and were delighted to offer advice and guidance to Interclass PLC on Temporary Works matters during the project tender stage.

The proposed structural solution was a departure from traditional steel and concrete structures and the unique structural form comprises a large single-storey hall, formed from a series of timber glulam portals and a roof attenuation zone comprising timber trusses and structural plywood roof.

Part demolition of an existing leisure centre and significant structural refurbishment, including removal of load bearing masonry walls, removal of a lift shaft and the trimming of pre-cast concrete floor planks.
