Ballycastle Shared Education Campus
Ballycastle, NI
£70 million Shared Education Campus in Ballycastle. The cutting-edge educational facilities will be jointly used by Ballycastle High School and Cross and Passion College.
This exciting three-storey project will provide additional investment for high-quality sports facilities accessible to the community. While both schools will maintain their distinct identities within the new campus, the modern, purpose-built accommodation will enhance the shared delivery of the curriculum.
Project Details
"TLA was installed across all three floors of the Ballycastle SEC project - 200mm on the ground floor and 50mm on the upper floors - with excellent results. The system delivered clear programme benefits including by reducing the need for insulation storage on site, lowering labour requirements & significantly minimising waste This contributed to a more efficient, organised, and safer working environment throughout the build.
The team on site were well organised and coordinated seamlessly with our underfloor heating installer. They met every deadline for TLA, vapour barrier, and screed install. We will be considering energystore TLA for all future projects."
