Eastleigh College
Elementa Consulting has had an ongoing relationship with Eastleigh College since 2007 as its services consultant. We are still working with the college on their ongoing improvement program.
This project comprised the development of two sites, the main campus in Eastleigh and a second campus at Rookwood. Work at the main campus involved renewing several aging buildings to deliver 21st-century learning spaces, including hair and beauty salons, art and design studios, a rehearsal room, dance studio and changing rooms, a refectory, a training kitchen, and a new-build restaurant.
At Rockwood, the existing building is to be demolished and replaced with purpose-built higher skills learning center housing a range of vocational facilities. Across the whole project, Elementa Consulting delivered a proactive, client-focused approach, fully participating in end-user workshops at the design stage and maintaining clear and constant communication at all stages of the design and construction process.
Services delivered for the project included all mechanical, electrical, and public health designs. We also provided dynamic thermal modeling to confirm summer-time temperature conditions and shading requirements and a window design and ventilation concept as part of a full energy strategy. These sustainability measures ensured the college received a BREEAM Excellent rating.
