Loreto Sixth Form Honoured at Built Environment Awards

At the North West Business Environment Awards, Loreto Sixth Form College Phase 4 development received the runner-up prize in the Built Environment Award - over £1 million category.  The new, multi-functional building has previously been honoured at the Building Research Establishment BREEAM Awards 2010 receiving the BREEAM Further Education Award.  The new development achieved an ‘excellent’ BREEAM in 2009 and received rating performance credits in the areas of energy, materials, waste, water, ecology, pollution, transport, management, and health and wellbeing.  The development makes good use of renewable and low carbon technologies, rain water harvesting, an extensive green roof to reduce the ecological impact, provides a comfortable working environment with predominantly naturally ventilated spaces and utilises good local controls for heating and lighting.  Overall, the scheme utilised materials with low environmental impacts and substantially reduced C02 emissions.

AA Projects provided Project Management and Strategic Management expertise for the scheme and were tasked with delivering a state-of-the-art teaching facility that promotes sustainable design to the College and its wider community.
