Cirencester College Digital Skills Building
Officially opening its doors in May 2022, the new Digital Skills Centre provides the students of Cirencester College with cutting edge technology in a flexible and collaborative working environment.
Designed by Roberts Limbrick Architects, the three storey building comprised teaching spaces, computer labs, offices, storage areas and a large communal atrium space in which to provide flexible and open plan learning spaces.
Working with E G Carter & Co Ltd and the rest of the project team, Axiom undertook the full installation and commissioning of the mechanical and electrical services.
Due to the open plan nature of the building and exposed ceilings, a high level of coordination and exceptional standards of workmanship were required to ensure the right architectural aesthetic was achieved.
Picking up the RIBA Stage 3 design from Smith Consult Ltd, Axiom were responsible for the full MEP design to RIBA Stage 4. This involved TM52 thermal analysis, Part L Compliance reports, BB101 calculations, spatial coordination of all services, technical design calculations, equipment schedules and manufacturing/construction drawings and information. The specific systems were wide ranging, with the emphasis on energy efficient solutions.
