Building programmes and Education Design Services

Cambridge Education can help you develop your vision of educational excellence and translate that vision into a robust and realistic brief for architects, engineers and ICT system designers. 

CE are able to support the development of new, refurbished or remodelled schools regardless of scale of project, to achieve excellent outcomes to support the vision for learning within a tight budget. 

We have a proven track record of challenging and supporting architects and contractors to make the education vision into a learning environment which really supports their requirements, generating value for money and supporting a ‘right first time’ approach, avoiding costly changes in design at later stages.

We can:

• Explore aspects of pedagogy, using interactive tools such as ‘Activity Modeller’ to link the learning environment to the pedagogical vision
• Arrange visits to other schools and give examples of effective design and practice
• Ensure value for money by scrutinising proposals against Educational requirements
• Draw up your curriculum model and translate it into accurate and efficient space requirements
• Check all designs and schedules against relevant design requirements
• Facilitate stakeholder engagements and interactive workshops
