OR Consulting &emdash; Sacred Heart Roman Catholic School

This project reflects OR Consulting’s ability to create high-performance, acoustically optimised environments that meet the functional and aesthetic needs of educational spaces, while addressing external challenges and delivering projects within the required timelines and budgets.

OR Consulting — Sacred Heart Roman Catholic School

OR Consulting acted as environmental engineers and acousticians for the extension and refurbishment of the Community Buildings at Sacred Heart Catholic School, transforming them into a new Sixth Form Centre. Located in a challenging acoustic environment, with nearby railway lines and busy roads, the project demanded innovative design solutions to ensure comfort and functionality.

Key features of the project include:

  • Mixed-mode ventilation strategy — a solution that balanced natural ventilation with mechanical systems, overcoming the acoustic challenges posed by the surrounding environment.
  • Optimised window placements — strategically positioning windows to maximize daylighting while minimizing external noise, ensuring both energy efficiency and a quiet, productive space.
  • Fast-track delivery — the Sacred Heart Sixth Form Centre was completed on time, within a tight budget, and delivered to meet the school’s pressing needs.
