2.0

Changing methods and approaches to teaching combined with changing technology are affecting the delivery of education in a profound way. HKS is passionate about designing buildings that can unlock this potential.

Our education teams seek to create high quality environments, spaces and places that support the lifetime learning experience. We strive to deliver education facilities that respond to the needs and aspirations of pupils, students, teachers, support staff, family members and the local community. Our goal however is not just

to create world class design solutions but also to provide a service to our clients that ensures that the solutions are delivered on time and to a budget in order to meet our clients’ aspirations. To provide first class delivery we build our design teams within a framework of structured, disciplined and effective project management. We not only create the design but we also manage the design process. We bring the core management skills of curriculum modelling, resource planning and project management to this process.

> Design Philosophy

3.0

The HKS approach is based upon thoroughly understanding a client’s aspirations and needs, and sensitively responding to the unique environmental, social and operational characteristics of each project. We believe that the most successful projects are those in which there is an integrated project team that promotes collaboration and shared ownership in the pursuit of such an approach.

Our project management process includes design quality management reviews and consultant coordination, budget management, monthly reporting, design scheduling and design fee cash flow forecasting and trending.

We have not only built some of the most exciting and transformational schools in the country, but also worked as advisors to some of the country’s most forward thinking local authorities. The schools we have delivered, in some of the most deprived and challenging areas of the county are now open and thriving, with school senior management teams glowing in their praise of the transformational effect the schools are having upon learning outcomes and aspirations.

Through the experience of our projects and acting as Technical Advisors, we have developed a sophisticated architectural portfolio of space types to suit clients needs however traditional or transformational. We can deliver designs that can accommodate a traditional pedagogy whilst having sufficient flexibility designed-in to enable a shift to the transformational end of the spectrum without costly building alteration. This is a key attribute, as many schools, whilst harbouring the aspiration to transform their teaching and learning strategies, need to manage change over a longer period of time whilst commissioning new buildings in the short term.

Design and creativity are implicit in our approach. Our portfolio attests to our ability to deliver beautifully inspired work, shaping and crafting environments and ideas well beyond the expected.

> Sustainability

5.0HKS has been actively involved in environmental issues since the 1960’s when the company was instrumental in developing innovative low energy solutions to housing design and campaigning for efficient and renewable energy production and therefore considers issues of sustainability from the outset.

As part of our ongoing commitment to low energy, sustainable design solutions, HKS has experience of recognised environmental assessment methods including BREEAM and LEED. HKS, through user group meetings and

design workshops, seeks close collaboration with client and design teams to minimise the adverse effect of the building on the local and global environment, whilst ensuring the building meets the requirements of the occupants’ activities, health, comfort, stimulus and well being.

By seeking maximum integration of all design disciplines and continual review of building form, function and operation. A holistic design can be achieved, minimising waste, reducing energy consumption and fully serving the needs of the occupier.

As well as being accredited with BSEN ISO 14001:2004, HKS DesignGreen is the sustainable consulting studio within HKS that assists our design staff in implementing sustainable design processes and strategies. This studio has catalogued sustainable strategies and “lessons learned” from our vast project experience and uses this data on a daily basis to assist our designers in identifying successful and appropriate sustainable design strategies for their projects. Daily communication and contact with the project design team makes HKS DesignGreen uniquely effective at delivering successful integrated design solutions for its clients.

HKS carries out regular research into innovations in environmental design and are currently evolving a structured in house design guide and protocol for use by all technical staff. By seeking maximum integration of all design disciplines and continual review of building form, function and operation, HKS believes that a holistic design can be achieved, minimising waste, reducing energy consumption and fully serving the needs of the occupier.

Left Digital Coordination Model

> BIM

6.0HKS was one of the first architectural firms to extensively use Building Information Modeling (BIM). Since 2009, all of our newly awarded projects utilise BIM capabilities. Our firm currently has over £10 billion in design and construction underway using Autodesk Revit, a BIM software. Revit allows us to explore complex architectural geometry with a realistic and intelligent model that is seamlessly integrated with coordinated construction documents.

BIM’s approach allows the owner and building team to see how the pieces of their project – from its three-story atrium to its door frames – fit together. Owners, architects, engineers and contractors are all seeing the advantages of Revit.

The Benefits of HKS’ Implementation of BIMBIM allows the design team to quickly study options via analysis tools – revealing the best design option (e.g. LEED certification points, most efficient volume and perimeter, site orientation and building views).

The technology allows architects and their team members to study the cost impact of different designs (e.g. exterior wall system options, percentage of glazing versus solid wall) – providing a better cost overview.

Analysis tools offered by BIM promote green design (e.g. daylighting studies, energy calculations, building site orientation and

implementing new solar technology) – allowing educated sustainable decisions.

BIM supports the Integrated Project Delivery team process by giving the team the tools necessary to exchange required information between all members – saving time and money.

The technology facilitates accurate presentation views at any point during the design and construction document process – allowing the owner to better understand their building.

The quality of overall documents improves due to the use of 3D modeling coordination – promoting a coordinated set of construction documents.

The process encourages all industry team members to communicate – helping improve efficiency of scheduling construction activities (e.g. analysis and sequencing of work, materials delivery, ordering long lead items, organizing construction site storage and staging areas).

BIM reduces the possibility of building construction conflicts which could require change orders – saving the owner additional costs.

Our dedicated Revit server accelerates sharing models around all offices, enabling multiple-firm collaboration on a single model data set.

We believe the architectural design of a school can help in this mission. Physical learning settings provide meaningful and memorable backdrops for impressionable minds. These formative experiences have lifelong impacts. Today’s imprints shape tomorrow’s outcomes.

Canary Wharf College

By working through the challenges of the tight site, its constraints and boundaries HKS proposed a building which combines the needs of a growing primary school and a multi-use hall for the local community to use. The design maximises the schools accommodation and exceeded the number of teaching spaces the brief called for. This allows the school to offer its students dedicated art, technology and ICT facilities.

The world is changing rapidly. School design must keep pace. Pedagogy is continuously subject to new tools, more mandates, developing science and technology and unfolding history. To plan for this cycle of perpetual renewal, school design can be grounded by two guiding constants.

The first is change itself. Schools should be easily modifiable – either directly by users, or through construction – to accommodate various activities, technologies, schedules or groups. The second is human nature. Emphasis should be placed on natural elements and social relationships that are enduring, changeless and permanent.

Canary Wharf College 2

The teaching and community zones are given equal priority within the layout, signified by an entrance placed strategically between them. This allows either to function independently. With the teaching zone priority is given to the classrooms. These are well proportioned, square, best efficiency and flexibility of space over the lifetime of the building.

Academic and educational services must evolve, or become obsolete. The process of change and adjustment is not linear. Its progressions occur simultaneously and iteratively. It must be engaged through a 360 process, where stakeholder perspective leads to powerful new ideas, solutions and expressions. Through divergent-thinking, curiosity, persistence and teamwork, we discover and organize common values and individual viewpoints that shape new visions and desired outcomes for our clients.

In early dialogue with the Academy and its advisors, we set out to create general teaching spaces in deep plan deliberately to allow maximum opportunity for future change. This means that the space in each zone is not limited to the ‘conventional’ central corridor with classroom space either side. Within the central space of each of the five zones is a circulation area with lockers grouped around a generous lightwell or atrium space.

We took the Academy’s aspiration to operate four ‘Schools of Learning’ as a generator for the design concept. On studying the existing building stock, we realised that we could effectively re-group each school of learning tocreate four compact school ‘spokes’ (one being a new building), each with a ‘feature’ learning space, oriented around a new-build ‘hub’, with each of the feature spaces within the schools connected by a new thread of circulation routes culminating in the hub.
