Design ConceptDesign Concept Features • 3 distinct arc shaped steel framed structures interlinked by corridors which

will also have a steel core. The whole structure is encased by glass as can be seen in the image below.

• The basement will be constructed using reinforced concrete.• Large basement segmented into a gym/leisure suit, student bar and

disabled parking.

• Rear access from St Andrews road to basement and for disabled parking and deliveries.

Design ConceptDesign Concept•Cycle store to the right of the face of the buildings made up of timber and glass. •The rear of the structures are to be cladded with timber as will be discussed later by Tim.

Possible Oil Tanks

Risks

Decommissioning of oil tanks Contamination within the soil A large amount of site clearance to remove all soil which may be

contaminated Expensive remedial works New incoming services to replace oil tanks can be very costly
