B&K Structures are delighted to share the latest photos from Beech Court Pavilion at Abingdon School.
Our team have designed and installed a complex steel canopy frame and feature glulam diagrid roof.
Intended to integrate the theatre and existing school - providing a flexible space for catering and hospitality - the new dining pavilion will be a contemporary and dynamic space destined to become a real hub for school life.
A key driver for the client was designing the pavilion to maintain a connection to the outside, with green views in all directions, and the use of exposed structural timber is an ideal solution due to its biophilic qualities. The space is designed to facilitate changing functions throughout the day, acting as a dining room, a cafe, a study space and even a theatre spill out area.
Abingdon School's passion for sustainability and sustainable spaces - for not only their students and the planet, but for long-term maintenance, flexibility and longevity - can be seen in their commitment to using low carbon materials. When completed, Beech Court Pavilion will include a sedum roof, raised beds and a tree lined approach whcih will continue to allow the pavilion to fit sensitively into the landscape within a garden setting.
