Education

RPS has created an extensive portfolio of projects and has forged strong, valued relationships with local authorities, universities, colleges, secondary and primary schools nationally. We are extensively involved in the BSF programme nationally and are working with numerous schools to give advice on DfES strategies.

We have worked extensively in all aspects of Education renewal and transformation, providing a full spectrum of design and complementary consultancy services. These projects have ranged from extensions and remodelling of existing facilities through to major new buildings and campus master-planning. We are driving sustainable, environmentally conscious solutions to school design including Biomass/CHP systems and maximising natural ventilation and daylight throughout our projects.

RPS recognises that critical to the success of these initiatives and the delivery of learning needs, is the incorporation of interchangeable learning environments into the building form - a variety of large, small, open and enclosed spaces in which to learn, and the integration of social and ICT based e-learning spaces. We understand that we are not simply creating buildings; but are also striving to provide improved infrastructure to help raise educational standards and enhance links to the local community.
