Overview

Ty Gwyn Special School in Cardiff began to reach their maximum pupil capacity, so required additional classroom space. The school were keen to ensure that any new classrooms would be suitable for the pupils, who may have extra behavioural or sensory challenges. 

The project was worked via Cardiff Council SEWSCAP framework process to deliver a new SEND classroom block. We were happy to work to the councils enhanced employer requirements to deliver a suitable teaching environment. 

Despite the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the project was completed in time to start the new school term. Wernick enforced strict social distancing measures and enhanced health and safety protocols to ensure work could continue through the pandemic. 

The single storey building contains four classrooms, each equipped with storage, DDA compliant toilet and shower rooms, and a withdrawal area to provide a calmer environment for pupils. To accommodate the particular needs of the pupils who would be using the classrooms. The standard specification was upgraded to include enhanced acoustic flooring specification, impact resistant plasterboard to all wall faces, and high spec glazing to all windows, doors and screens.
