In an education setting fire design not only needs to take account of contemporary trends in school design, such as extensive use of glazing and open atriums, it also needs to be easily managed by staff. That's why our expertise in value engineering and developing fire management strategies is so valued by our education sector clients.

Our innovative, solutions-driven approach is ideally suited to the challenges of education environments and we use CFD modelling to eliminate costly over-specification and prove that an alternative design will also provide increased levels of safety. Because of the number of children or young people in a school setting, we take an ultra safe approach and our pioneering use of 'safety zones' to which the children can be moved as part of the evacuation process, minimises travel distances to enhance safety levels without incurring expensive systems or construction costs.
