Bauder Tops the First BSF New Build School in London
11 June 2008
The Michael Tippett School, Kennington is the first school in London to be completed under the Government’s Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme.
Designed by London Eye architect Marks Barfield, the £7m secondary school was designed for students with profound and multiple learning difficulties. Completed in February 2008, the school opened in record time, only 9 months after work started and is a credit to the close working relationship of the architect, the delivery team and the school itself.
A Bauder extensive green roof was chosen as a lightweight solution dictated by the long span pre-stressed concrete planks used for the structural roof deck. Working closely with Marks Barfield and Apollo Education, Bauder recommended their unique extensive green roof system incorporating tapered insulation to provided drainage falls and an higher than average U value. The 2400m² of Bauder roofing and 1800m² of Bauder sedum blanket were successfully installed on time and within budget.
