KNOCKROON LEARNING

& ENTERPRISECAMPUS

What you said ……

What we have done ……....

• “The development is too close to neighbouring proper es”

• “An internal link should be provided to allow Primary Children to access sports without leaving the building”

• “More public access to mee ng spaces”

• “More public access to external sports facili es”

• “The use of red / dark brick is not suitable for the building and looks too industrial

• The closest distance from the campus to the nearest house is over 36m. Addi onal plant screening will also help to so en the impact o he building on adjacent proper es

• A new link at fi rst fl oor connects all the buildings of the campus, including sports, together

• Greater community access to mee ng spaces, including fl exible classrooms has been included in the latest plans

• A new secure fence line between the pitches / running track and the buildings can allow the facili es to be used by the public during school hours, when not in curriculum use.

• The current design allows for a lighter / cream coloured brick. This new colour responds to the immediate locale of the campus and adjacent developments including Terringzean View and the Knockroon housing development.

THE PROPOSAL

The proposed design for the new Knockroon Learning & Enterprise Campus aims to create a 21st century learning environment which responds to, and enhances, its se ng. Incorpora ng a total internal fl oor area of circa 22,600sqm the proposal sits within a total site area of just over 19.5 hectares.

The proposals locate the building broadly in the centre of the upper plateau of the northern site. Following the dis nc ve tree lined embankment that bisects the land north of Lugar Water, the building is set away from adjacent residences and aims to maintain the parkland appearance of the site when viewed from major approaches. It is the inten on of the proposal to maintain the natural beauty of the site. Where possible trees are being retained and supplemented with new plan ng.

Ar fi cial sports surfaces providing full compe on sized rugby and football pitches together with a new running track are located on the lower plateau of the northern site providing enhanced sports facili es for school and community use. A new biodiversity area will be provided to the west adjacent to an enhanced river-side walkway. External sports facili es will be further complimented by grass rugby and football pitches which will be formed south of the river, alongside the exis ng all weather pitch which will be retained and repaired as necessary.

The exis ng Cumnock Academy site will also be used as one of two main areas for parking, including the majority of bus movements to the site. Further parking areas, including staff spaces are to be located on the exis ng Underwood Road Depot. A dedicated drop-off for the ASN facili es, together with taxi and accessible spaces will be provided close to building entrances. Publically accessible pedestrian routes through the site including the north-south route from Holmehead to the Hospital and riverside walkways will be maintained. A publically accessible circular route around the campus will also be provided.

The building’s form is divided into four linked blocks containing a range of school func ons. The southernmost block, located close to Visions and the external pitches, provides a signifi cant amount of internal sports spaces. Ranging from 1 (badminton) court through to

6 court spaces, the internal sports provision is able to accommodate a wide range of ac vi es. In total the equivalent of 13 courts of accommoda on are proposed supported by a range of changing rooms.

The remaining three blocks contain from West to East respec vely; • The core ECC, ASN and Primary School spaces• The Whole School spaces eg. dining, assembly and facili es for the arts • The principal Secondary School areas

Each block typically contains a range of cellular teaching spaces arranged around a central volume. These central areas provide a vibrant internal environment and accommodate a range of spaces including Learning Plaza’s and breakout areas to support a range of ac vi es and modern methods of learning in line with EAC’s brief. Viewed and experienced across mul ple levels of the building the central volumes also contain key gateway spaces and provide opportuni es for showcasing school life and hos ng events.

Ranging in height from two to three storeys the building’s external form consciously responds to the neighbouring locale. Familiar elements, including pitched roofs will be used to help breakdown the proposal’s appearance and ensure it sits comfortably within the largely residen al context. Local details, such as an ac ve roofscapes, punched window openings and ver cal fenestra on will be re-interpreted in a contemporary manner to create an architecture that responds to its context while maintaining a contemporary and elegant appearance.

The type and tone of external materials for the scheme have been carefully considered in rela on to the campus’ immediate context and common materials found across East Ayrshire. Most notably the design proposes a light brick as the principal facade material, which will sit well with adjacent proper es. This is combined with modern materials including feature glazing to maximise views southwards, over external play spaces and towards the river corridor, and metal cladding to roofs and feature eleva ons.

A. MAIN ENTRANCE APPROACH

1. PLANNING SUBMISSION JANUARY 2017 (TARGET)

We are aiming to submit a single planning submission, to East Ayrshire Council in January 2017.

2. PLANNING APPROVAL SPRING 2017

If the planning applica on is successful, we hope to have permission to construct the development approved in Spring 2017.

3. CONTRACTOR APPOINTMENT JUNE 2017

Whilst planning is being considered the design team with EAC and their representa ves will also con nue with the detailed design and search for a main contractor to deliver the works.

We hope to appoint the contractor in June 2017 following receipt of planning permission.

4. START ON SITE JULY 2017

We hope to start works on site, with the appointed main contractor, next summer.

Details of any early enabling works and the phasing of the main works are s ll being considered by the team. These will form part of the informa on we submit for the planning applica on.

5. MAIN WORKS COMPLETE AUGUST 2019

We are aiming for the new campus to be complete in August 2019 in me for the new academic year.

Temporary car parking will be established on the exis ng Cumnock Academy site to support the new campus while the fi nal work phase as described in the next box are completed.

6. WORKS SOUTH OF LUGAR BY AUGUST 2020

Once the new campus is complete the exis ng Cumnock Academy will be redundant and can be demolished. This will allow new grass pitches and permanent car parking areas to be formed south of the water.

It is an cpated that these works could take up to a year to complete.

NEXT STEPS

Our current programme an cipates submission of a planning applica on in January 2017. Once submi ed, there will be a formal period for communi es and stakeholders to comment on the applica on and the plans and reports which accompany it.

Please note that the design presented in this exhibi on may not be representa ve of the fi nal design submi ed as part of the planning applica on.

Members of our Project team are on hand to answer any queries you may have about the project.
