IID ARCHITECTS SCHOOL ESTATE MASTER PLANNING - INTRODUCTION School Estate Master Planning – for achieving efficiency, effectiveness and value for money in dealing with issues that all schools face Introduction: We are here to share some of our experiences in master planning for schools and colleges. The objective of a master plan is: • To provide an overall vision for the future • To set logical educational objectives and identify budget constraints • To improve curriculum delivery and pastoral care • To break down future development into a series of manageable phases • To maintain a sense of direction no matter how long that journey might take • To provide overall coherence to the school’s estate • To provide planning departments, funding bodies, governors, parents and pupils with reassurance that works have been founded on sound principles to eliminate the risk of ad-hoc, piecemeal or potentially futile development • To minimise objections to development proposals, ease planning and funding approvals and provide a greater sense of certainty and credibility for future development Issues frequently encountered include: • Unsustainable estates - large heating and lighting bills • Piecemeal and unsatisfactory building development • Illogical layout and wayfinding • Run down and expensive to maintain building stock • Lack of flexibility • Wasted space • Local authority resistance to incremental development ‘creep’ In this presentation we will look at our typical approach to master planning and how we can start to address some of these issues. 2 IID Architects | The Poppy Factory | 20 Petersham Road, Richmond, TW10 6UW | T 020 3274 1000 | info@iid.co.uk | www.iid.co.uk

IID ARCHITECTS SCHOOL ESTATE MASTER PLANNING – MASTER PLANNING BACKGROUND IID’s involvement with master planning began in the early 1990s when we started working with state schools and colleges who had recently assumed responsibility for the management of their estates following devolvement from the Local Authority . We worked in close collaboration with a number of schools and colleges to develop Long Term Plans whereby the assets they held could be assessed and measured against their longer term requirements and a course could be set for a period, typically spanning 15 to 20 years, to meet the anticipated needs. Fundamentally, the assessment was based on: • The school’s ability to deliver the curriculum • The identification of accommodation shortfalls in terms of sufficiency & suitability • Consideration of the longer term energy demands • The identification of site and budgetary constraints • The identification of opportunities • the development of appropriate accommodation and services strategies which would enable the school or college to remain a sustainable centre of learning It was always intended that such Long Term Plans should be ‘live’ and fluid documents capable of annual review and adaptation to meet changing needs. Lady Margaret School : 3FE to 4FE Expansion As architects, we are often approached by a new educational client to provide a building or to prepare a CIF bid to address their currently perceived shortfalls. Often the initial briefing has been formulated without any long term thought or assessment of the potential of existing facilities. At this stage, we advocate a short ‘pause for breath’ and a re -assessment of need against broader long term issues. From the energy perspective there will be relatively little benefit of pursuing renewable energy measures if the more fundamental issue of reducing energy demand in the first place is not addressed or energy consumption remains unmonitored. On the planning front, the availability of long term accommodation and servicing strategies is often a pre-requisite for the validation of applications; a position which will only be reinforced as we head towards ‘zero carbon’ targets and ever more demanding BREEAM standards. It is perhaps particularly pertinent that schools, as places of learning, encourage stewardship of a sustainable environment – is a new building necessary when it is possible to re-furbish or extend an existing ? .
