An energy efficient condensing gas boiler and low energy LED light fittings are utilised throughout. Photovoltaic and solar hot water panels have been installed on the south facing roof to maximise the energy efficiency of the building.

The design aims to minimise the building’s footprint to maximise space for vehicle parking and to provide the best opportunity for viewing the sports fields.
