There are some external works but no major external sports provision. Including in the cost are the demolition of the old school, planning requirements and all abnormals. The school has a BREEAM rating of very good. In terms of designed-in sustainability, the large volume of the building envelope allows for very efficient heating and ventilation, which is undertaken by substantial centralised plant. It also uses natural ventilation for all of the internal enclosed pod classroom spaces. Additional benefits are gained from photovoltaics and the northlight roof design. Leeds East Academy was designed prior to the publication of the EFA’s Output Specifications. However, Interserve says the design conforms to the EFA’s baseline design guidance and also provides additional space, adding that the design principles ensure future-proofing against changing requirements and climate change. This is achieved through flexibility and adaptability of the envelope design and the servicing solution. Each project is modelled using exact orientation and location factors to determine precise daylight, heating and ventilation criteria.
