Case Study
Torfaen Learning Zone
Purpose-built sixth form learning centre finished with Lusso glazed partitioning
Architect: Boyes Rees
Main Contractor: Interserve
The new £24 million purpose-built Torfaen Learning Zone is set to transform sixth form learning within the borough and brings education for the area into the 21st century. The campus, situated in the heart of Cwmbran, replaces all sixth forms in the Torfaen Borough, to give learners access to the best facilities and a community of further education learners.
State-of-the-art College
The new state-of-the-art college has been built over five levels. Within the building, there are two stunning central atria which lead to modern classrooms, IT rooms, science laboratories, and an art studio. The facility also provides a performance hall, music and media suite, and a library. In addition, students can benefit from quiet rooms, chill-out areas, flexible working spaces, social spaces and a cafeteria.
Statement Glazing
Lusso worked in close collaboration with Interserve to ensure the project was completed despite the ongoing uncertainty around Covid-19 and challenging social distancing regulations. Atria glazing was installed by Lusso to create light throughout the building, giving the interior space a wow factor. Lusso single and double-glazed partition systems were used to create individual spaces for different needs of the learning centre.
Contemporary Design
The overall effect is a bright, contemporary building that the Borough can be proud of. Students will be encouraged by their inviting, modern space, as well as benefitting from the new amenities and facilities. It is truly an inspirational educational environment for both teaching and learning, perfect for inspiring young minds.
